The story unfolds from Lettie’s perspective. She’s a young woman who has left her home and friends and all she’s known to travel to another part of the country to become a smallholder. She has no experience of farming, having only worked in a Tea House and being a miner’s wife. I really got behind Lettie and Tommy and really wanted them to make a success of their smallholding. I enjoyed following how despite all the odds they made their smallholding a success. Professor Wise was appointed by the Government in 1963 to report on the LSA. His findings published in 1967, recommended that the number of LSAs be reduced to 10. And a considerable part of the success of 'Foxash' for me is Alex Dunmore's performance of the audiobook. She imbues miniscule dips and peaks of emotion; she gestures with her voice as it wavers, gulps, breathes fluctuations in Lettie's inner monologues and dialogue with others. I was entirely caught up in her spellbinding narration. This was a fantastic audiobook! The narration was brilliant with clear distinction between the characters. These adverts enable local businesses to get in front of their target audience – the local community.Foxash was one of the many small-holdings set up in the 1930s by the Government’s Land Settlement Association. A well researched book about an era that I don't know particularly well, but sadly it wasn't for me. Alix Dunmore is a brilliant narrator and she really made the book feel so atmospheric. She really brought the book to life - she was quite simply Lettie .

The smallholders work all hours on the land. The seasons come and go, crops are planted and harvested. Friendships develop and grow. It feels like a pastoral idyll.

I found it quite hard to focus on and the entire atmosphere of the book felt claustrophobic and dark.

Foxash LSA continued for another 15 years, until the closure of all remaining LSAs was announced in the House of Commons on 22nd December 1982. LSAs were encouraged to continue as independent companies and tenants had the right to buy their houses and smallholdings.

Beautifully written and deeply immersive. Foxash manages to be ethereal but visceral at the same time. If you think these details are out of date, then please let us know.
