AUTUMN: THE STORY OF A SEASON (HB)

Starting in her own garden, Kate Mosse leads us to the Fishbourne marshes of her childhood, with their vast skies and wading birds, and into ancient yew forests steeped in mystery. We travel across the harvest fields, follow the river bends of the Ouse and the Lavant, and join the crowds at Lewes on Bonfire Night, where the air crackles with flame and torchlight. Exploring nature, folklore, memory and history, this is a love letter to Sussex and an atmospheric portrait of the season from a celebrated writer.
