Description
Book SynopsisOver the course of a year, Jules Pretty walked along the shoreline of East Anglia in southeastern England and here takes the reader with him on his journey over land and water.
Trade ReviewThis Luminous Coast is part travel guide, part memoir, part meditation, part elegy. Although it is occasioned by a sense of urgency, it never preaches; nor does the author claim any privileged knowledge, despite the wealth of information that he discreetly imparts. It doesn't demand our response, or even insist that we follow up the author's findings. However, if we let it do its work, we will be subtly changed.

Illustrated with the author's own photographs, This Luminous Coast is an elegiac meditation on a constantly changing landscape.
