Description
Jonathan Raban's Coasting is a thought-provoking exploration of England and its people during a tumultuous period in British history. As he navigates the complexities of middle age, Raban finds himself confronting his own fears and insecurities while sailing solo around Britain. The author's vivid descriptions of the sea and its power are matched by his insightful observations of the communities he encounters. With courage and candour, Raban shares his experiences as a vicar's son, weaving together memories of childhood with a chronicle of his journey on the water. Through this fearless attempt to discover belonging and connection, Coasting offers a nuanced exploration of what it means to be English in the face of uncertainty and change.
