Narrative books have an internal voice - separating them from all other media. This story is not just very beautiful and poetic, historical and evidence based. The writing technique is stripped back - Hemmingway-esque - and in places it breathes oxygen into old forgotten places. Making still things move. Adding colour to monochrome yellowing photographs. Bringing springtime to winter gardens. Sensational. Literally.
