Lost to the Sea

Absorbing and highly enjoyable . . . Woollett has an excellent sense of the strange, the inexplicable, the funny and the unforgettable * Caught by the River *
Filled with incident, insight and human curiosity . . . In elegant, haunting, always lively prose, Lost to the Sea proposes a vision of the great power of the elemental sea: the mysteries it has concealed, revealed, and will eventually take back to itself . . . a fascinating alternative history of the fractured, flooded and eroded edges of Britain and Ireland. -- PHILIP HOARE
A haunting evocation of vanishing places. Meticulously researched, Lost to the Sea delivers scene after scene of watery destruction at a host of crumbling, mythical or sunken sites - and a timely reminder of the transience of our coasts -- PHILIP MARSDEN
