Hugely honoured to find out that #TheNorthRoad has been longlisted for the @wainwrightprize.bsky.social

😁😁❤️

The end of the road. Flow Country. Today (11:45am) is the last episode of #TheNorthRoad on #radio4 as its #bookoftheweek.

This final instalment comes from near the end of the book, and a post-Covid chapter called ‘Resurfacing’.

I read this book recently; indeed, while on the road north. It’s astonishing. Loved it. Go buy (in your local bookshop!) #TheNorthRoad #naturewriting

It runs and flies today. Officially. #TheNorthRoad is out there!

10 years of researching, walking, travelling and writing. A lifetime lived; 7,000 years of strata and stories. All braided together. A book about identity, family.

Go out and get it at your local bookshop. I’d be ever so grateful.

Sunlight falls onto a hardback copy of The North Road, which sits on a small side table next to a cup of coffee.

Exciting #BookPost this morning!

Looking forward to getting stuck into #TheNorthRoad by @robcowen.bsky.social.

Some lovely news, folks. #thenorthroad is going to be #bookoftheweek on @bbcradio4.bsky.social on the 12-16th May. I couldn’t be happier.

Keep an ear out or catch up on @bbcsounds.bsky.social

Take a historic trip down the A1 with this brilliant book In The North Road, Rob Cowen recounts his thrilling journey between Edinburgh and London with a superb blend of memoir, history and fiction

My 5⭐️ review of @robcowen.bsky.social #TheNorthRoad in today’s @telegraphnews.bsky.social today #A1 www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fi...

The North Road: ‘A haunting exploration of time, place and memory along the road to London-Edinburgh highway. Radical. Beautiful a book by Rob Cowen. ‘A dazzlingly inventive work of literature’ Robert Macfarlane, author of The Old Ways'A wonderful, epic braiding of history, geography and personal memoir' James Rebanks, author of English Pastoral'St...

#TheNorthRoad @robcowen.bsky.social is like nothing else I've read. The A1 becomes a profound & storied 'lungo drom;' a long road created & recreated by ourselves, our ghosts, doubles & echoes; throwing us more mysteries than it answers, as the best literature does. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

This is a book I've been waiting for for a long time - my life has been bound up in #TheNorthRoad for over 30 years now and I can't wait to learn more about it. And look at that magnificent cover! #naturewriting

Couldn’t be more thrilled to hear #TheNorthRoad recommended on the greatest books podcast, @backlisted.bsky.social as a book for 2025.

A million thanks to @johnmitchinson.bsky.social @iammilliam.bsky.social and Nicky Birch.

Hello everyone. #TheNorthRoad is doing the rounds ahead of its release in April.

The responses and reviews are humbling and wonderful. I’ll share some on here.

In general I’m trying to find a place where madmen don’t pander to the far right.

Will be posting more on this channel.
