The Yorkshire Shepherdess by Amanda Owen
hopeful
reflective
relaxing
medium-paced
4.0
4/5
Audiobook narrated by Anne Dover.
Reminiscent of James Herriot and other literary accounts of the Yorkshire Dales, The Yorkshire Shepherdess is the autobiography of Amanda Owen and her and her family's experiences living on a remote farm.
- This book was an excellent palate cleanser and both relaxing and compelling. I've not watched the series where Amanda features (The Dales, I believe) but I found myself thoroughly invested in the ups and downs of farm life in this book.
- How she speaks about her family is super refreshing and freeing. I loved how she discusses each of their births, personalities and how life at the farm is shaping them. It must be a hard but very rewarding place to raise children.
- The descriptions of the farm and landscape are amazing. I'd be lying is I said I haven't looked up about visiting the farm for a cream tea is I'm ever in that part of the country. Ravenseat sound like a truly wonderful place to exist.
Enjoyed thoroughly and would recommend to anyone with an interest in Yorkshire and James Herriot-style adventures.
