Not sure how to categorise this book, but it was wonderfully written. An exploration of a place, the area around Arundel in the Sussex Downs where the author grew up and knows well. She weaves in the experiences of locals, notable and otherwise, archaeology, religion, architecture, geography and more. 'To see the world in a grain of sand' is quoted often. Very enjoyable and pertinent as I am dragging the kids to Arundel Castle tomorrow as it's half-term.
