description: 'It is not news that the world is full of wasted women, but it is encouraging when someone, like Betty Burton, manages against all the odds to become a roaring success.' - GUARDIAN. Nat Tallentire is a self-made millionaire farmer, a plain, dour man now forced to watch his son, Jake, take the reins of power. At the start of a long, hot summer, Nat's village of Childencombe is cosily ordinary. Perhaps his wife, Myrr, is showing signs of rebellion against domesticity, but mostly life is sweet - until overnight appears the strange corn circle. For with the sightseers and researchers comes an analyst of strange phenomena, the beautiful Kuan-Yin - and nothing has prepared Nat Tallentire for the overwhelming passion, lust for life and turbulence that she stimulates in him.
