Cracknell wonderfully explores the strange durability of the paths that we make in our lives, in our dreams and after our deaths.--Robert Macfarlane, author of The Wild Places and The Old Ways
There is not a step taken in this book that does not engage the writer and so the reader. To walk with Linda Cracknell is to explore landscape and memory; both the white page and the fernie brae. It is to be enriched by the compulsions of a lifetime.--Tom Pow
a winning combination of memoir, travelogue and literary meditation--Daily Mail
Merits a place of its own in the New Nature Writing canon.--Stornoway Gazette
With Cracknells writing you dont so much see the landscape as feel it...--The Scotsman
Like a multi coloured tapestry memory and imagination are beautifully evoked by the varied landscapes where Linda Cracknell walked over a period of eight years. Her book is a joy to read.--Raja Shehadeh, author of Palestinian Walks: Forays into a Vanishing Landscape
A poignant and passionate memoir of ten journeys on foot; a heartfelt exploration of the mental and physical landscapes that shape our lives.----Gavin Francis author of True North and Empire AntarcticaOf all the current crop of excellent new Nature Writers Linda Cracknell is probably the most physically present to the reader. These are real walks, walked by a real (and clever) writer; and the interesting things she tells us about feel real to the action of walking. Her writing has an exuberant, intelligent energy that seems to come directly from feet striking ground and shaking up memory. She is even brave and honest enough to tell us about the walks that did not work out as planned. Because of the geographical spread of the walks here, this is not a book to inspire you to do her walks, but to challenge you to enjoy your own walks more. Refreshing, lovely, fun: good walking and good writing.--Sara Maitland
