In rural World War II England, three very different young women, from very different backgrounds find themselves thrown together, sharing an attic bedroom and laying the foundations of a friendship that will last a lifetime. Land Girls is the intelligent and often heartbreaking account of their first summer together. With wit, charm and emotion, Angela Huth has created a novel of delicate passions, richly observed.

The film of Land Girls is now in production. Directed by David Leland (Wish You Were Here) and starring Catherine McCormack (Braveheart), Rachel Weisz (Chain Reaction, Stealing Beauty) and distributed by Polygram/Gramercy, Land Girls will come to theaters in Winter 1998.

"Like the best of the 'girlfriend' novels -- books like Circle of Friends (and) Waiting to Exhale -- Land Girls draws the reader in to become a member of the group, the friend just beyond the narrator's ken". -- Susan Isaacs, The New York Times Book Review
