For farmers, life in Great Britain in the 1800’s was a never ending struggle. For a young woman who recently inherited a successful sheep farm, it could be even more difficult. Bathsheba Everdene, sure of herself and her ability finds that this was just one of the challenges she faced. Being beautiful, admired and desired, while working side-by-side with her faithful field workers complicates her life as she proves her dedication to a successful farm, and finds love and contentment. 3
