A mix of poetry and prose, this compilation by New Zealand's Fiona Ferrell is simultaneously a memoir, a meandering travel book, and a poetry collection. Demonstrating how a natural disaster can turn a life upside down in an instant, this book consists of four essays about walking, interrupted by poems about the Christchurch earthquakes and their aftermath. Funny, timely, and deeply personal, it will resonate with a wide range of readers due to its references to France, Dunedin, Christchurch, Robert Louis Stevenson, Katherine Mansfield, and Voltaire.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Just a hint of tanning. Feels unread. A distinctive blend of memoir, travel writing, essays and poetry, centred on walking and the disruption caused by the Christchurch earthquakes. Four essays follow journeys through landscapes and ideas, while poems about the earthquakes and their aftermath interrupt the narrative like aftershocks. The work reflects on place, memory, literature, loss and the sudden ways disaster can alter both everyday life and our understanding of the world around us. N° de réf. du vendeur 053025
