Warriston, Edinburgh
A graveyard is like a library in stone. This is for anyone who has ever wandered through a field of crooked headstones and wondered about the lives and deaths of those who lie beneath. A grave new world with award-winning writer Peter Ross as our guide.
‘In his absorbing book about the lost and the gone, Ross takes us from Flanders Fields to Milltown to Kensal Green, to melancholy islands . . . a considered and moving book on how the dead are remembered, and how they go on working below the surface of our lives.’ – Hilary Mantel
WINNER OF THE SCOTTISH NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021
