A small group of social outcasts form a reluctant community on an abandoned farm in rural Denmark in the 1800s. Betrayal, flight and redemption, framed by relationships stretched across social standing, age and gender, The Water Farm brings their world to life. Cecil BOdker is one of Denmark's literary masters.

The Water Farm is mesmerizing and tender. A deceptively simple story, with characters both real and extraordinary. It's surprising how relevant a book this is, exploring the making of art and the forging of human connections outside societal norms.
