Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
The Slow Breath of Stone by Pamela Petro
An absorbing travel book, a meditation on geology, photography, Romanesque art and the romance of physical decline, The Slow Breath of Stone throws a mirror on Europe of the Middle Ages and its hold on us today.'Enthusiastic and indiscreet, funny and learned, Petro is about as good a travel companion as you could get'
Spectator
'Petro is the sort of writer you really look forward to meeting. Entertaining and informative, she writes with such disarming frankness that you feel you know every quirk about her.'
Big Issue
Pamela Petro was educated in America, France and Wales, and has since taught Welsh and travel writing. Her previous books are Travels in an Old Tongue: Touring the World Speaking Welsh, and Sitting Up With the Dead: a Storied Journey through the American South. She lives in Massachusetts.
