About the Book



"Wonderful." - James Rebanks, author of The Shepherd's Life

"Rain is that rare and delightful thing, nature writing that entertains as it informs." - Tristan Gooley, author of The Lost Art of Reading Nature



Book Synopsis



An evocative meditation on the English landscape in wet weather by the acclaimed novelist and nature writer, Melissa Harrison.

Whenever rain falls, the English countryside changes. Fields, farms, hills and hedgerows appear altered, the wildlife behaves differently, and over time the terrain itself is transformed. In Rain, Melissa Harrison follows the course of four rain showers, in four seasons, across Wicken Fen, Shropshire, the Darent Valley and Dartmoor. Blending these expeditions with reading, research and memory, she shows that rain is part and parcel of the English identity.
