About the Book

Over sixty years after Virginia Woolf drowned in the River Ouse, Olivia Laing set out one midsummer morning to walk its banks, from source to sea. Along the way, she explores the roles that rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature, mythology, and folklore. Lyrical and stirring, To the River is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape--and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.

About the Author :
Olivia Laing is a widely acclaimed writer and critic. She's the author of seven books, including The Lonely City, Funny Weather, and Everybody. Her first novel, Crudo, was a Sunday Times top ten bestseller and won the 2019 James Tait Memorial Prize. Her work has been translated into twenty-one languages and in 2018 she was awarded a Windham-Campbell Prize for nonfiction. She lives in Suffolk, UK. Kate Reading, named an AudioFile Golden Voice, has recorded hundreds of audiobooks across many genres, over a thirty-year plus career and won the prestigious Audie Award for Best Narration. Among other awards, she has been recognized as an AudioFile Magazine Voice of the Century, Narrator of the Year, Best Voice in Science Fiction and Fantasy, and winner of an Publisher's Weekly's Listen-Up Award. She records at her home studio, Madison Productions, Inc., in Maryland.

Review :
"Listeners will enjoy hearing Kate Reading's crisply pleasant voice as they imagine themselves in author Olivia Laing's shoes as she walks the length of the Ouse River in Sussex, England...The comfortable pacing of Reading's narration reflects the tone of Laing's musings on the river's power and presence across the centuries...The solitude of this meditative journey is occasionally interrupted by locals, whose accents and vibrancy are deftly portrayed by Reading." -- "AudioFile" "A beautifully written meditation on landscape." -- "Sunday Times (London)" "By turns lyrical, melancholic and exultant, To the River just makes you want to follow Olivia Laing all the way to the sea." -- "Daily Telegraph (London)" "Laing's language is supple and saturated, bright and dappled in this gracefully meandering river of words and deeply pleasurable journey across Woolf's tidal world and the many-storied English countryside." -- "Booklist" "Olivia Laing joins the best nature writers...Laing is a brilliant wordsmith and this is a beautifully accomplished book." -- "Independent (London)"
