There's more detail on my website: www.diagonalwalking.co.uk but basically, I spent the summer of 2018 (the hottest on record - phew!) walking, yes, that's walking, down a line drawn at 45 degrees NW to SE through the very centre of England.

The author lets us know it took ten years to write this book, and it shows. There's a lot in here, too much perhaps? Too many characters, too many threads, too many brand names. Clearly, the author has something to say about the state of Britain, but ...more

I really enjoyed this book, finding it very accessible, presenting what was a turbulent time in an interesting, yet entertaining way. I learned a lot. It's not a conventional/academic history book, but I would argue all the better for that. The autho ...more
