Blurb:-January 1953
The great North Sea flood devastates much of the east coast of England.
The island in the Thames Estuary where George and Annie Hadley run their farm is almost completely submerged.
Annie and the four Hadley children try and escape to the mainland, but George must stay behind and attempt to save his animals, his home, and his livelihood.
When the waters recede, will anything of their former life remain?
The story of George and Annie Hadley is one of gritty determination, enduring love, and the power of nature.
The Farmer and the Fury takes the reader on a journey through 1950s post war Britain, with evocative depictions of rural life and a cast of beautifully drawn characters.
It is a novel based on the true event of the great North Sea flood of 1953.

My Review:-A isolated island. It's 1950s the farmers on the island found themselves in devastation when the place is almost completely submerged.
Annie and George Hadley along with their four children have to decide what to do for the best. Annie and the children try to get to the mainland. It's going to be up to George to try and save both the farm and the animals, but is it going to be to much for one person.
After losing almost everything, it's not going to be easy to repair and restock what's been destroyed.
The author does a great job showing what nature can do in just a short time and the impact it leaves on so many people's life, both on the island and off
