CHESTER - A visit to the rapid where she lost a cherished friend
unexpectedly reignites Amy-Jane Beer’s love of rivers setting her
on a journey of natural, cultural and emotional discovery. On New
Year’s Day 2012, Amy-Jane Beer’s beloved friend Kate set out
with a group of others to kayak the River Rawthey in Cumbria. Kate
never came home, and her death left her devoted family and friends
bereft and unmoored. Returning to visit the Rawthey years later,
Amy realises how much she misses the connection to the natural
world she always felt when on or close to rivers, and so begins a
new phase of exploration. The Flow is a book about water, and, like
water, it meanders, cascades and percolates through many lives,
landscapes and stories. From West Country torrents to Levels and
Fens, rocky Welsh canyons, the salmon highways of Scotland and the
chalk rivers of the Yorkshire Wolds, Amy-Jane follows springs,
streams and rivers to explore tributary themes of wildness and
wonder, loss and healing, mythology and history, cyclicity and
transformation. Threading together places and voices from across
Britain, The Flow is a profound, immersive exploration of our
personal and ecological place in nature.
