Item description from seller

First edition, first impression with full number line. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, front corners very very slightly bent, very slight dint to page fore edges (looks like printer's error), not price clipped (£18.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks unread. 400pp. A visit to the rapids where she lost a cherished friend unexpectedly reignites Amy-Jane Beer''s love of rivers setting her on a journey of natural, cultural and emotional discovery. On New Year's Day 2012, Amy-Jane Beer's beloved friend Kate set out with a group of others to kayak the River Rawthey in Cumbria. Kate never came home, and her death left her devoted family and friends bereft and unmoored. Returning to visit the Rawthey years later, Amy realises how much she misses the connection to the natural world she always felt when on or close to rivers, and so begins a new phase of exploration. 'The Flow' is a book about water and like water it meanders, cascades and percolates through many lives, landscapes and stories. From West Country torrents to Levels and Fens, rocky Welsh canyons, the salmon highways of Scotland and the chalk rivers of the Yorkshire Wolds, Amy-Jane follows springs, streams and rivers to explore tributary themes of wildness and wonder, loss and healing, mythology and history, cyclicity and transformation. Threading together places and voices from across Britain 'The Flow' is a profound, immersive exploration of our personal and ecological place in nature. Quite a scarce book.…
