Requests:  0 Summary:  Explores the landscape of the author's home on the borderland between England and Scotland--known as the Marches--and the history, people, and conflicts that have shaped it. In The Places in Between, Rory Stewart walked some of the most dangerous borderlands in the world. Now he travels with his 89-year-old father--a comical, wily courageous, and infuriating former British intelligence officer--along the border they call home. On Stewart's 400-mile walk across a magnificent natural landscape, he sleeps on mountain ridges and in housing projects, in hostels and farmhouses. With every fresh encounter--from an Afghanistan veteran based on Hadrian's Wall to a shepherd who still counts his flock in sixth-century words--Stewart uncovers more about the forgotten peoples and languages of a vanished country now crushed between England and Scotland. Stewart and his father are drawn into unsettling reflections on landscape, their parallel careers in the bygone British Empire and Iraq, and the past, present, and uncertain future of the United Kingdom. And as the end approaches, his father's stubborn charm transforms this chronicle of nations into a fierce, exuberant encounter between a father and a son. This is a profound reflection on family, landscape, and history by a powerful and original writer.--From dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 941.37 St Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 941.37 St Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 941.37 Stewart Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 941.37 Ste Checked In Add Copy to MyList
