Rural Hours: Harriet Baker

Harriet Baker discusses her book, Rural Hours, which tells the stories of three renowned women and how their respective moves to the English country shaped their writing, and who they became. Her book follows Virginia Woolf on the Sussex Downs, Sylvia Townsend Warner on the Dorset coast and Rosamond Lehmann in a Berkshire village. A paean to the bravery and vision of three pioneering writers, it is a passionate invitation to us all: to recognize the radical potential of domestic life and rural places, and find new enchantment in the routines and rituals of each day.
