Celebrate Sarah Hall’s new book with a stay in Cumbria

Helm is a ferocious, mischievous wind – a subject of folklore and wonder – who has blasted the sublime landscape of the Eden Valley since the very dawn of time.

Helm is Helm’s life story, formed from the chronicles of those the wind enchanted: the Neolithic tribe who tried to placate it, the Dark Age wizard priest who wanted to banish it, the Victorian steam engineer who attempted to capture it – and the farmer’s daughter who fell in love. But now Selima Sutar, surrounded by measuring instruments, alone in her observation hut, fears the end is nigh.

To celebrate the book’s release, you have the chance to win an idyllic stay in Cumbria and a copy of the book, published by Faber, to keep you company.
