Steven Lovatt: Enchanted Ground, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

A moving, powerful quest for belonging through the forsaken landscapes of Britain

When Steven Lovatt's grandmother died, he lost not only a beloved family member but also his last link to the way of life she had represented: rooted in place, socially democratic, ecologically rich. Cut loose from the past and confronted with a present missing even the birds of his childhood, Steven's mind cracked.

Drawing on field work, local library archives and oral history, as well as dreams, diaries and visions, Enchanted Groundcharts a fractured course from breakdown to belonging. For if he is to survive, Steven realises he must set out, like a pilgrim, across the motorways and monoculture wastes of Britain in search of enchanted ground - and those who have begun to rebuild it.
