NICOLA CHESTER<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Threading together places and voices from across Britain, The Flow is a profound, immersive exploration of our personal and ecological place in nature.<br/>Table of Contents<br/>Prologue: Only water, moving on<br/>Chapter 1: Fresh and yet so very old<br/>Eddy: Snow dome<br/>Chapter 2: Torrent<br/>Eddy: Hollowing<br/>Chapter 3: Oak-water<br/>Eddy: Groundwater<br/>Chapter 4: Fly while we may<br/>Eddy: Dark water<br/>Chapter 5: Lines upon the land<br/>Meander: Bath toys<br/>Chapter 6: The meanings of water<br/>Eddy: Otter<br/>Chapter 7: The Bell Guy and the Gypsey<br/>Chapter 8: A willow grows aslant a brook<br/>Eddy: Minus seven<br/>Chapter 9: The cry of the Dart<br/>Meander: Flow<br/>Chapter 10: Trespassers will<br/>Eddy: Summer on the Nene<br/>Chapter 11: Chalk stream dreaming<br/>Eddy: Heron<br/>Chapter 12: Land covered by water<br/>Eddy: High water<br/>Chapter 13: Ouroboros<br/>Meander: Ghosts in the willows<br/>Chapter 14: The silver fish<br/>Chapter 15: Light and water<br/>Eddy: Damnation<br/>Chapter 16: Anadrome<br/>Chapter 17: Riverwoods<br/>Eddy: Flowover<br/>Chapter 18: Confluence and influence<br/>Meander: A river released<br/>Chapter 19: The Mucky Beck<br/>Eddy: Withow Gap<br/>Chapter 20: Rodents of unusual size<br/>Eddy: The narrow bridge<br/>Chapter 21: Heartland<br/>Chapter 22: A descent into Hell Gill (and out the other side)<br/>Epilogue |
