'Pray, pray to the God of the sea that politicians read it' - John Lewis-Stempel, author of Meadowland
The island of Britain has over 10,000 miles of coastline, steeped in history and constantly shifting, changing, adapting and providing. The Restless Coast is a moving and beautiful account of a journey around it, during which the author sets out to discover its challenges and opportunities, and to talk to its people. Roger Morgan-Grenville addresses the modern challenges that the shoreline faces, and highlights the people who are trying to protect it.
Informative, angry and funny, this is a very personal love letter to our island edge.
