The North Road by Rob Cowen

Just finished this incredibly powerful, moving and thought provoking book.

‘The North Road’

The history, the geography, the memories, the personal stories, just brilliant!

I’ve never read a book quite like it.
I highly recommend! 📘📖

Rob Cowen and Robert Mac Farlane on stage at the Cambridge Literary Festival April 2025.

Just spent a glorious hour at the #Cambridge Literary Festival listening to @robcowen.bsky.social & @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social discuss Rob's new book The North Road. I do love a book that starts with a map & great to hear satellite images were part of the process. @josefaschbacher.esa.int #eochat
