LONGLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2017 A hauntingly beautiful
social history of the Thames Estuary, from the author of On Brick
Lane Out at the eastern edge of England, between land and ocean,
you will find beautiful, haunted salt marshes, coastal shallows and
wide-open skies: the Thames Estuary. The estuary is an ancient
gateway to England, a passage for numberless travellers in and out
of London. And for generations, the people of Kent and Essex have
lived and worked on the Estuary, learning its waters, losing loved
ones to its deeps. Their heritage is a proud but never an easy one.
In the face of a world changing around them, they endure. Rachel
Lichtenstein spent five years exploring this unique community and
recording its extraordinary chorus of voices, present and past.
From mud larkers and fishermen to radio pirates and champion
racers, from buried princesses to unexploded bombs, Estuary is a
celebration of a haunting & profoundly British place.
