WALES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024
WATERSTONES WELSH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2023
From the author of Addlands, and featuring illustrations by Jackie Morris, an immersive and evocative non-fictional journey through Wales and a revelatory meditation on the nation's past, present and future.
Sarn Helen - Helen's Causeway - is the old Roman Road that runs from the south of Wales to the north. As Tom walks the route, sometimes alone, sometimes in company, he describes the changing landscape around him and explores the political, cultural and mythical history of this country that has been so divided, by language and by geography. Running alongside this journey is the story of Tom's engagement with the issue of the climate crisis and its likely impact on the Welsh coastline. From one of Wales' most celebrated younger writers, Sarn Helen is at once a vivid and immersive portrait of a nation, and a resonant meditation upon the way in which we are shaped by place and in turn shape the places - potentially irrevocably.
Tom Bullough grew up on a hill farm in Radnorshire, Wales, and lives in Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) with his children. He is the author of four novels - A, The Claude Glass, Konstantin, and Addlands - and, now, Sarn Helen, his first work of non-fiction. Tom is a climate activist and a freelance tutor in creative writing, and runs regular courses on climate and writing for Black Mountains College and the Arvon Foundation.
Jackie Morris is an award-winning illustrator, artist and author of over forty books, including, with Robert Macfarlane, The Lost Words.
