About the book
This isn't simply a geographical boundary but a living, breathing frontier steeped in centuries of history, conflict, and co-existence. Through vivid storytelling and keen observation, Parker examines the landscape, communities, and politics of this in-between space. He uncovers the tensions and peculiarities that arise when two nations meet, from language shifts and cultural clashes to the very real question of what it means to belong to either side—or neither. Both entertaining and enlightening, this is essential reading for anyone fascinated by borders, British identity, and the wild, beautiful country where Wales and England overlap.
