Sobre este áudio
The Luxtons' idyllic farm on a stretch of lush countryside between Exmoor and Dartmoor had been lovingly tended with outdated methods. There were rumours of a thwarted betrothal, wrangles over money and property, generational feuds in the extended family, bouts of insanity and extreme miserliness.
John Cornwell's classic investigation into the violent deaths of these unhappy siblings told a story of a farming family struggling under unbearable practical and emotional pressures, their violent deaths, the police investigation and the proceedings of the inquest. The official verdict was that there had been a suicide pact, but Cornwell decided to revisit the evidence forty years after Earth to Earth was first published, and he finds that there were anomalies in the evidence suggesting alternative, criminal scenarios, and the misery that preceded these savage deaths suggested even darker elements.
Were the Luxtons scapegoats of local malice, or victims of a murderous family conflict, stricken by a dire ancestral curse?
This new edition of a true crime classic includes a postscript in which the author describes the extraordinary lengths that the great poet Ted Hughes, a neighbour of the Luxtons, went to try and suppress publication of the book.©1982 John Cornwell (P)2025 Quercus Publishing
Resumo da Crítica
Exceptional true crime in the tradition of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, a forensic examination of three mysterious killings but also an utterly absorbing portrait of a family, a region and a way of life. The new coda about Ted Hughes and the publication of the original book, fascinating in itself, adds a new, unsettling dimension to the whole story. A rich, compelling and powerful book. (Simon Mason)
John Cornwell marries the cool-headed forensic skills of the investigative journalist with the warmth and humanity of a true storyteller. The result is an utterly absorbing account of this great tragedy, revealing the many smaller, day-to-day tragedies which set a country family on the path to such a savage end. (Ed Stourton)
On first reading, a gripping true crime unravels before the reader; at a deeper level, it is a profound meditation on truth, reality, and what can, ultimately, be known. An instant classic. (Judith Flanders)
Earth to Earth is both chilling and thrilling, telling a mysterious story of the sequestered lives and tragic deaths of a Devon farming family. The account of the poet Ted Hughes's efforts to suppress the book will come as no surprise to anyone with reservations about this self-appointed shaman - a word only one syllable longer than 'sham'. (John Banville)
Earth to Earth is a family tragedy, a clinching argument for the importance of journalism and truth-seeking - and an irresistible storytelling treat from top to tail. (John Self)
