The Marches : Border walks with my father

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 a 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. 'Travel writing at its best' Observer • 'Beautifully written… a haunting reflection of identity and our relationships with the people and places we love' Daily Mail
