About this product
Product Information
To the River is the story of the Ouse, the Sussex river in which Virginia Woolf drowned in 1941. One midsummer week, over sixty years later, Olivia Laing walked Woolf's river from source to sea. The result is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape - and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.Along the way, Laing explores the roles rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature and mythology alike. To the River excavates all sorts of stories from the Ouse's marshy banks, from the brutal Barons' War of the thirteenth century to the 'Dinosaur Hunters', the nineteenth-century amateur naturalists who first cracked the fossil code. Central among these ghosts is, of course, Virginia Woolf herself: her life, her writing and her watery death.Woolf is the most constant companion on Laing's journey. But other writers float through these pages too - among them Iris Murdoch, Shakespeare, Homer and Kenneth Grahame, author of the riverside classic The Wind in the Willows.The result is a wonderfully discursive read - which interweaves biography, history, nature writing and memoir, driven by Laing's deep understanding of science and cultural history. It's a beautiful, lyrical work that marks the arrival of a major new writer.

My second attempt at buying this book and success ! The first copy was a library copy, which had not been described as such & not stamped withdrawn/cancelled + it was posted to me in a thin plastic bag ( that supplier is now 'history' ). - This copy was as described, like new, correctly packaged, and on time. The difference between a 'bookshop'and a 'charity shop gleaning empire' ( in their defence, they did refund me promptly & in full). I know where I'll go first in future though. Thanks

Wonderful thankyou. Just as described, a sealed Folio Society book that came quickly :-) Note for future pristine Folio Books like this. Unfortunately the Jiffy bag it was sent in was damaged in one corner by the postal service and thus tore through into the Folio Book seal and slightly damaged it. Luckily the book is for me at a good price, but if it was meant for a gift or a real collector it would have been upsetting. An extra layer of packaging inside the jiffy bag would have helped. :-)
