A walking tour of the border region where England and Scotland meet by the award-winning writer, meditating on a complicated, storied relationship through history
A WATERSTONES BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2024
The border between England and Scotland is rich in history. It has been the site of battles, treaties, castles and crossroads. But it can also be a lens through which to look at the changing history and identities of these two countries.
Between Britain is a one-hundred-mile journey through eight centuries. It is a history book, a travelogue, a personal reminiscence and a gently prodding examination of national identity. But above all it is a celebration of a place and the people who live there.
