THE TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER. SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE.
Drowned. Buried by sand. Decimated by plague. Plunged off a cliff. This is the forgotten history of Britain's lost cities, ghost towns and vanished villages: our shadowlands.
Historian Matthew Green travels across Britain to tell the extraordinary stories of how these places met their fate—and explores how they have left their mark on our landscape and our imagination. Revealing communities lost to time through catastrophe, nature and abandonment, Shadowlands is a deeply evocative and dazzlingly original account of Britain's past.
A haunting, lyrical tour that brings the past vividly to life, this beautiful and moving exploration has captivated readers and critics alike, praised as 'brilliant', 'beautifully written', 'fascinating' and 'truly original'.
