My first narrative non-fiction book, published by Propolis.
Winner of the prize for non-fiction at the East Anglian Book Awards, 2020.
New York to California is a personal journey across the East Anglian landscape, looking for the not quite visible, beginning in the abstract geometry of the Lincolnshire fens, and tracing a route through Norfolk to the North Sea coast. Written as narrative non-fiction and illustrated with photographs, it follows the route my family took across this same landscape, becoming an eccentric migration through mine and their pasts. This is a book that is rooted in region, but universal about its connections with stories and landscape.
