Harvest is a 2013 Man Booker Prize finalist. The scene is taken on a remote village in Middle-Aged England, where, on the morning after harvest, a trio of outsiders arrives and sets up camp, announcing themselves in smoke. That same night, however, the local manor house also catches ablaze. For the townspeople these two events are not mere coincidence: the new arrivals are cruelly punished. But it is another new face that provokes the most concern for Walter Thirsk, a resident outsider himself. This man comes not with a flame, but with a pen, meticulously taking notes, while Thirsk watches his once quiet hamlet descend into chaos.

Um autor que deveria ter maior reconhecimento. O povo de uma aldeia vê chegar ao fim aquilo que para eles é todo o seu mundo e ocasiona o rompimento entre as pessoas e a terra e faz um paralelo muito interessante com o nossos tempos em relação à migração e crise climática.
