Description:
A joyful, rule-breaking experiment in biography, which celebrates 'country life' as a state of mind



1917. Virginia Woolf arrives at Asheham, on the Sussex Downs, immobilized by nervous exhaustion and creative block.



1930. Feeling jittery about her writing career, Sylvia Townsend Warner spots a modest workman's cottage for sale on the Dorset coast.



1941. Rosamond Lehmann settles in a Berkshire village, seeking a lovers' retreat, a refuge from war, and a means of becoming 'a writer again'.



Rural Hours tells the story of three very different women, each of whom moved to the country and was forever changed by it.




We encounter them at quiet moments - pausing to look at an insect on the windowsill; jotting down a recipe; or digging for potatoes, dirt beneath their nails. Slowly, we start to see transformations unfold. Invigorated by new landscapes, and the daily trials and small pleasures of making homes, they emerge from long periods of creative uncertainty and private disappointment; they embark on new experiments in form, in feeling and in living. In the country, each woman finds her path- to convalescence and recovery; to sexual and political awakening; and, above all, to personal freedom and creative flourishing.




Graceful, fluid, and enriched by previously untouched archival material, Rural Hours is both a paean to the bravery and vision of three pioneering writers, and a passionate invitation to us all- to recognize the radical potential of domestic life and rural places, and find new enchantment in the routines and rituals of each day.

Look no further than! Buy these 💯
Color: 01 - Dark Grey, Size: Queen
Queen. Grey. Beautiful. Nice snug fit. Feels like silk. Super comfortable, soft, almost buttery. And truly cooling fabric. The price point is a steal. I will be ordering these sheets in all the colors. P.S. these sheets also laundered beautifully. I’m very very pleased with this purchase.

Sheets
Color: 05 - Dusty Blue, Size: Full
Have been the best sheets I've bought, would totally spend the money again. They feel soft against your skin yet keep you cool and comfortable. Easily fits my extra thick mattress, only a little wrinkles during use. They offer some wonderful colors, went with a dusty blue and am completely satisfied with richness of color.

Exceptional quality and feel
Color: 12 - Light Beige, Size: Queen
I will be purchasing again from Bedsure. I purchased the light beige which is exactly what the color was, like a gentle note of almond to it. Perfect for my bedroom as my master bath has light beige full shower, toilet and sink. I washed them and dressed the bed. The sizing was spot on. My mattress does has a 3" Mike Lindell topper. I would suggest making sure you follow their sizing which I did not do mine just happened to fit and didn't have much to spare either because of the topper. The sheets feel wonderful to sleep on. They do feel cool on my skin and felt cool out of the package also. I do not believe you would be disappointed unless you just absolutely were in love with the sheets you are on. This set works beautifully for me and my skin loves the smooth texture of the material. I'll be a repeat buyer.

Love BUT they STINK!!
Color: 26 - Forest Green, Size: King
I have the dark green sheets and would give them 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that they smell absolutely horrible. I am so surprised after reading reviews that more people don’t mention it?! Maybe it’s more prominent in darker colors but I have washed these now 3 different times even with scent beads and still hate the smell. I wish I could accurately describe what it smells like— it’s just not good and for some reason, body heat only exacerbates it and makes the smell even worse and I wake up feeling like a smell like the sheets… which isn’t a good thing. Besides that, I do really enjoy them. They feel great on your skin, haven’t been pilling near the foot area (which is what makes us go through so many sheets) and I love the color. I wish the smell didn’t kill them so badly for me ☹️

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep
