Discover the novelThe Book
PRECIOUS DIRT is Connie's debut novel. A dark family drama, it combines the readability of Sally Hepworth’s Darling Girls and the moral complexity of Florence Knapp’s The Names.
Her novel explores a multi-generational cycle of entitlement, infidelity and domestic abuse, concealed and tolerated within an elitist British farming family.
