Falling into Place - liminal landscapes in Brittany

By Wendy Mewes

Wendy Mewes writes about liminal landscapes, paths into the past, spirit of place and solitude. In Brittany.

No one knows as much about Brittany, my adopted home, as Wendy. She writes with clarity about the history and the land, and movingly about spirit of place.

John Lewis-Stempel

Short reads on Nature and History.

I've enjoyed John's books for a long time; and read his latest, La Vie, about his farming life in France twice in immediate succession. He's generous with his foraged recipes, too.
