Finding Albion (Zakia Sewell)

A beautiful and hopeful book about a country I've largely forgotten but that still has a vice-grip on my soul. The England of my youth is almost certainly still there in so many ways, but it's ironic that with the distance of time and place I am coming to see it now more clearly than I ever did as a young teen - in all its beauty, failure, promise and pain. I can't wait to return. In the meantime, I will hold books like this close.
