The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

An original collection of personal essays blending nature writing and memoir and exploring subjects ranging from how river imagery has influenced so much modern music (think Florence and the Machine), night fishing eels in the River Severn, rivers in Paris and beloved films such as Before Sunset, Joni Mitchell, loss, and London’s beloved Tottenham Marshes. While the geographic focus remains in the UK, a couple of essays traverse the world and all its glorious rivers and their impact.
