Roderick Grant creates a poignant and candid picture of a way of life which, although much changed, still survives in modern times. In addition to the harshness of work on the farms and the gradual transformation of the estate into a commercial business, we also learn much about the people themselves - their relationships with each other and those they worked for, and also their loyalties and disloyalties"--Back cover.
