Description
Brought up in the Anglo-Welsh borders by an affectionate but alcoholic and feckless mother Owen Ithell's sense of self is rooted in his long vivid visits to his grandparents' small farm in the hills.
As an adult he moves to an English city where he builds a new life working as a gardener. He meets Mel they have children. He believes he has found happiness - and love - of a sort.
But a tragic accident changes the course of his life and the lives of those he loves is changed forever. Owen is haunted by suicidal thoughts. In his despair he resolves to reconnect with both his past and the natural world and with his children he embarks on a long fateful journey walking to the Welsh borders of his childhood.
Powerful richly evocative and perfectly poised between the hope of redemption and the threat of irrevocable tragedy Landedis Tim Pears' most assured and beguiling novel to date.
