Tracing The Rivers

Synopsis

Meet KATE SAWYER. She is 15 years old and has lived in North Devon her entire life. And now, over the course of her summer project, she is finally going to find out what that means.

From the world around her today, the trees and people, to the land and times before her, as narrated by her grandfather, ‘TRACING THE RIVERS' is a story about grieving the loss of things you've never had. Of people you've never met, yet know. From authors to doctors, artists to farmers, Kate must examine this world she lives in that was once different, to discover and think on how different it is, a world that exists in the minds of those who were there.

A work of memory and remembrance, the living and the lost, perception and truth, heritage and inheritance. TRACING THE RIVERS is a book about North Devon, a place whose streets are filled with ghosts.
