The Easternmost House by Juliet Blaxland

The Easternmost House by Juliet Blaxland

The Easternmost House is a memoir which describes a year of life on a crumbling cliff at the easternmost edge of England, all year round and in all weathers. It is a meditation on nature, on coastal erosion, and on the changing seasons.

A beautiful book, eloquent and evocativeLyrical, poignant and witty, this book is a moving testament to a still enormously vibrant but vanishing time, place and way of life.

I feel like a stalker, but reading Juliet Blaxland’s The Easternmost House, I got straight into my car and drove over to stare at her home. Her wonderful book describes living on the most extreme outpost of Suffolk’s coast of erosion.

* The Times *

Blaxland’s writing is evocative, whether she is writing about the roar of a storm, jugs of homemade Pimm’s or the attempt to create a crop circle. She has a deep love of the coastal landscape she inhabits.

* Halfman, Halfbook *

Brilliant memoir about nature, landscape, food and the disconnect between town and country.

* The Sunday Times *

The author writes beautifully about her life in this small extremity... a hymn to a simpler life, one lived more in tune with the rhythms of the natural world, with its wonders and its perils.

* Country Life *

Prose that flows effortlessly with a wry turn of phrase at every corner. Plus, she’s bloody funny. In The Easternmost House you read the sound of her voice, and so the book rattles along like a good’un.

* Caught by the River *

Destined to be a 21st Century classic. Just brilliant.

* John Lewis-Stempel, author of The Running Hare *

A marvellous evocation of the Suffolk coast. It made me want to jump on the next train out of London.

* Andrew Gimson, author of Gimson's Kings & Queens *
