This, to me, was a book about existence, death, and how we can find ways to be in this world that we are both destroying and have the capacity to save at the same time. It meandered, like a river, through Olivia’s own thoughts and experiences both during her walk and from other times in her life, the lives of Virginia & Leonard Woolf, Gideon Mantell, Simon de Montfort and Charles Dawson, and some extremely profound thoughts on life and death. 

I found it absolutely mesmerising, deeply moving and know I will be returining to it again and again.

I listened to this as an audiobook, beautifully narrated by Kate Reading.
