The Plot by Madeleine Bunting
A work that deftly balances the emotional and the political, and shows what a contested, layered place we inhabit.
'This is a seriously good book: a borehole history of both an acre of England and Bunting's complicated fatherAs it proceeds, its patterns bind tighter and tighter, landscape and memory begin to inter-react, and plot thickens plot. This is a wonderful excavation of what a sense of placeA" might mean - and of the delusions and fulfilments that landscape can inspire' Robert Macfarlane, author of Mountains of the Mind and The Wild Places 'Madeleine Bunting's book is full of engaging stories, imaginatively researched and written with great tenderness. It evokes the Plot wonderfully well, but beyond that it is also a statement of the value of a sense of place more generally. I gobbled it up in a weekend' Edward Stourton
