Wild Goose

Brought up in a rural idyll, Jemima knows what she wants to do with her life. Leastways, she knows she doesn't want to follow the path that her father, who played only a small part in her upbringing, is trying to force her down. But she will have to go to extraordinary lengths, including coming close to death, in order to keep her dream alive.
This is a delightful, although frequently uncompromising, view of a rural childhood and parental domination.
