A worthy successor to My Father's House, although maybe we're done with this now? Very immersive and clever use of different media and narratives, a gripping tale well told. ...more

I enjoyed this book, a good combination of social history and travel writing. My only (slight) criticisms of it would be that it is a bit Cumbria-centric (fair enough, it's the author's home turf) and slightly repetitive with expressions and phrases ...more
