The feel-good place to buy books
The Farm at the Edge of the World by Sarah Vaughan
The farm sits with its back towards the Atlantic; a long stretch of granite, hunkering down. For over 300 years it has stood here, steeped in the history and secrets of one family. A farm at the very edge of the world.
