Heavy Time by Sonia Overall
In Heavy Time academic, writer and psychogeographer Sonia Overall examines what pilgrimage can mean to the secular walker as she journeys from Canterbury to Walsingham, via her home town of Ely.
'It is a talisman of a bookHeavy Time doesn't just describe a pilgrimage, it becomes one, for both writer and reader. It is an invitation to resist 'busyness', to think of ourselves as explorers, to seek out 'the everyday divine'. It has sent me out looking for 'thin places: pockets in the landscape where the membrane is so tightly stretched that other worlds might shine through.' Beautiful and essential.'- Helen Mort; 'A fabulous read.' - James Canton; 'Heavy Time draws the reader in to join Sonia Overall on her pilgrimage... The book has the immediacy of a notebook completed on a journey, with marginal notes clocking up progress and beautiful little pen and ink miniatures by Oliver Barrett punctuating the text.' -Bobby Seal, Psychogeographic Review; 'This is a fabulously grounded, earthy book of practicalities. It’s immediate and intimate, a deeply personal story.' -Clare Wadd, Caught by the River
