West Summary

West: A Journey Through the Landscapes of Loss by Jim Perrin

West tells the story of Jim Perrin's life against the lives and deaths of his cherished wife and son, and the landscapes through which they travelled together. It is a complex and sensual love-story, a celebration of the beauty and redemptive power of wild nature and an extraordinary account of one man's journey towards the acceptance of devastating personal loss.

West Reviews

'West's hand grasps your heart so violently as to leave thumbprints - I came out at the end feeling that my face had been breathed on by fire; I had been washed in the writer's scalding tears - Peerless.' Independent
