The North Road

The North Roadaf Rob Cowen
Bag om The North Road

'Radical and beautiful. Haunted and haunting: Cowen tracks the London-Edinburgh highway [...] A dazzlingly inventive work of literature.' Robert MacfarlaneAt the heart of this book is a highway. The A1; The Great North Road. A 400-mile multiplicity of ancient trackway, Roman road, pilgrim path, coach route and motorway that has run like a backbone through Britain for the last 2,000 years. In this genre-defying and profoundly personal book, Cowen follows this ghost road from beginning to end on a journey through history, place, people and time. Weaving his own histories and memories with the layered landscapes he moves through, this is the story of an age, of coming to terms with time past and time passing, and the roads that lead us to where we find ourselves. Written in kaleidoscopic prose, The North Road is an unforgettable exploration of Britain's great highway.
