A SONG FROM IRONWOOD
S. K. Cooper

The first published novel by a Sussex author whose main interests include folklore, fields and farms.
A Song from Ironwood is a modern story of romance and friendship and honour,
featuring a playful character who is not easily forgotten.
It begins in the summer of 1987, when two people return to Sussex to visit the villages where they grew up. Kate, the narrator, goes to the downland village of Eartham to stay a few days with her friend Sian, a horse whisperer, who lives close to Madehurst, which is where Kate was born.
Then, while the girls are perambulating the quiet rural places they know so well, and
reflecting on the events which led to their friendship, they meet a hunky guy who has a
motorbike, and an old man seeking redemption.
What follows is a tender paean to first love, interwoven with strands of Sussex history and legend, set among the Wealden villages south of Petworth, in the summer of 1914.
