Rachel Cusk turns her sharp, contemplative gaze upon the landscapes and cultures of the Mediterranean in this brilliant collection of essays. From the sun-baked hills of Italy to the ancient streets of Greece, she explores how place shapes identity, memory, and our understanding of home.
With her characteristic precision and philosophical depth, Cusk examines what it means to be a traveller rather than a tourist, questioning our relationship with beauty, privilege, and belonging. These elegant meditations on art, literature, and the act of seeing itself reveal how foreign landscapes can illuminate the contours of our inner lives. A stunning work from one of Britain's most original literary voices.
