THE NO. 1 BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF POLITICS ON THE EDGE
Combining memoir, history and travel writing, a moving exploration of landscape, identity and the love between a father and son.
Rory Stewart and his father set out on their final walk together along the border between England and Scotland.
On their 600-mile thirty-day journey, the pair relive Scottish dances, talk about Burmese honey bears and the loss of human presence in the countryside around them. Their odyssey develops into story of nationhood and landscape, and an exuberant encounter between father and son. Written with pathos and wit, Stewart's memoir is a moving, honest and loving portrait of his father and homeland.
