Sara Kestelman reads from the new and disturbing novel by Rose Tremain. Set in the Cevennes, an untamed area of southern France where traditions and secrets run deep, it is the story of two very different sets of siblings.

Veronica and Anthony are privileged, cultured and English. Aramon and Audrun are French, rooted in the old stone mas and the land around it that their family have cultivated for generations, and in their shared and violent past.

Anthony's dream expands and his hopes rise. But high in the hills, at the Mas Lunel, Audrun is realising the full devastation her brother's greed may bring.

Abridged by Sally Marmion.
