Product Information
In 1994, while walking the Alta Via, the high path winding from the French border to the Bay of Lerici, a man stopped in a remote village, and found he couldn t forget it. I ve just bought a ruin in the mountains of Liguria, he wrote, some years later. You d like it here. Julia Blackburn married that man and moved to that house in 1999. What she found in the mountains was a new way of life, and one that is fast disappearing. The village is one of many settlements in the valley- a heart at the centre of an intricate geometry of veins and arteries paths and tracks criss-crossing the land. Perched 'like a beetle' on the hillside, she begins exploring these connections- up into the mountains and into the corners of her new home.

Book safely packaged and delivered promptly. Item as described. Very impressed by the quick delivery of this book.
