Book OF THE MONTH The Living Mountain
Canongate, £14.99
The Living Mountain is notoriously difficult to categorise. How would you describe it?
: I thought it was magical. I’d come across quotes from it in the Robert Macfarlane books I’ve read recently, but those really didn’t do the book justice. I was a bit disappointed by the introduction, but by the time I got into it I couldn’t put it down. It’s completely timeless, both in the way it’s written and in the way time seemed to stand still while I was reading it.
