Land of My Neighbours by Barry Pilton
In sleepy mid-Wales the inhabitants of the Nant Valley are reeling from a double-death in a ditch and a shock act of vandalism that threatens to put the tiny town of Abernant on the map. When a lovelorn hill-sheep farmer is revealed as the vandalism culprit, and jailed for molesting a statue, the race for his land is on.
'Barry Pilton is the best kind of comedy writer: a man who can make you laugh with your brain as well as your bellyHis portrait of the life and times of a god-forsaken rain-swept Welsh valley is a quiet comic tour de force. Imagine The Archers transplanted to Wales and cross-bred with JP Donleavy and you're almost there. Almost ...' Sarah Dunant 'Full-bodied farce' Independent
