The Farm at the Edge of the World: The unputdownable page-turner from bestselling author of ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL, soon to be a major Netflix series - Softcover
1939, and Will and Alice are evacuated to a granite farm in north Cornwall, perched on a windswept cliff. There they meet the farmer's daughter, Maggie, and against shimmering barley fields and a sky that stretches forever, enjoy a childhood largely protected from the ravages of war.
But in the sweltering summer of 1943 something happens that will have tragic consequences. A small lie escalates out of all proportion. Over 70 years on Alice is determined to make amends - but has she left it too late?
2014, and Maggie's granddaughter Lucy flees to the childhood home she couldn't wait to leave thirteen years earlier, marriage over; career apparently ended thanks to one terrible mistake. Can she rebuild herself and the family farm? And can she help her grandmother, plagued by a secret, to find some lasting peace?
This is a novel about identity and belonging; guilt and atonement; the unrealistic expectations placed on children and the pain of coming of age. It's about small lies and dark secrets; and how the need to love and be loved endures. But above all it's about a beautiful, desolate, complex place.

Review:
[A] fabulous sense of place and a clever, compelling story (Woman & Home)
A beautifully evocative story of love, loss and forgiveness. You can taste, feel, see and hear Cornwall on every page as the characters pull you into their lives. Loved it. (Liz Fenwick)
You won't want this one to end (Marie Claire)
Absolutely loved it. Very rare I sit and devour 220 pages in one afternoon. (Nina Pottell)
An evocative and page-turning story of love and heartbreak, written in beautiful and poignant prose that captivated me from first word to final page (Katie Marsh)
Heartbreaking (Woman Magazine)
A wonderful book about love and loss through the eyes of three generations of Cornish women. Lovable, flawed, and so very human, each character had me rooting for them right until the very end. But it was the setting on the north Cornwall coast that makes me love this book: the weather, the seasons, the landscape, the house are all written so vividly that I could step into that place and instantly know my way around. (Claire Fuller)
Sarah Vaughan not only writes beautifully but her stories and characters have a way of climbing into your heart and staying there long after you've turned the last page . . . Highly recommended! (Fleur Smithwick)
A gorgeously evocative love letter to Cornwall and an unputdownable story. I devoured it. (Katy Regan)
A big-hearted story, and one that's full of love for the Cornish landscape. With the convincing detail about farming life, and intriguing past and present storyline, The Farm at the Edge of the World thoroughly transported me to the far western wilds, and made me very reluctant to leave again. (Emylia Hall, author of The Book of Summers)

The farm hunkers down with its back to the Atlantic. For over three hundred years, the long low house has stood here: looking in on its fields and the brooding moor; steeped in the history and secrets of one family, at the very edge of the world.
