Trade Review
"A beautifully written, intelligent book, and it is offered as a warning as well as a memorial." -- James McConnachie - Sunday Times
"An eloquent tour of lost communities . . . [Green] disinters their rich history and reimagines the lives of those who walked their streets . . . By doing so, he makes tangible the tragedy of their loss and the threat we all face from the climate crisis. " -- P.D. Smith - Guardian
"Fascinating . . . [A] sobering reminder of earthly transience . . . Shadowlands is a well-researched, highly readable history whose deepest import may be premonitory." -- Nat Segnit - Times Literary Supplement
"Startling... Often playful in tone, Shadowlands nonetheless has a serious purpose... [It] offers an urgent reminder of what may lie ahead as a result of climate change and rising sea levels." -- Miranda Seymour - Financial Times
"Consistently interesting [and] thought-provoking . . . Green’s passion and historical vision bursts from the page, summoning up the past in surround sound and sensual prose." -- Cal Flyn - The Times
