The North Road by Rob Cowen
Just finished this incredibly powerful, moving and thought provoking book.
βThe North Roadβ
By @robcowen.bsky.social
The history, the geography, the memories, the personal stories, just brilliant!
Iβve never read a book quite like it.
I highly recommend! ππ

Rob Cowen and Robert Mac Farlane on stage at the Cambridge Literary Festival April 2025.
Just spent a glorious hour at the #Cambridge Literary Festival listening to @robcowen.bsky.social & @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social discuss Rob's new book The North Road. I do love a book that starts with a map & great to hear satellite images were part of the process. @josefaschbacher.esa.int #eochat

Irreplaceable habitats are on the line. This is the reality if an unamended Part 3 of the Bill passes.
It must not.
How lovely! And powerfully true. Iβm opening its covers this weekend and I canβt wait.

What did we do to deserve this government? It promised change, and many people voted on that basis, in good faith. But the change is from bad to worse. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The North Road playlist is up on Spotify. Close to 6 hours of the songs and music that accompanied the journey and shaped the writing.
More than this, it echoes the unfolding chapters. A listen along for anyone reading the book.
Perfect for a Bank Holiday. π

Newly ordered from Blackwells, because they so nicely deliver to Canada with the postage built into the price (which stops me from wincing...) I did try my local indie bookstore first, but they don't have it even in their 'can be ordered' lists.
