Description
Tom Jeffreys set off from Euston Station with a walking stick and an overloaded rucksack, bound for Birmingham along the proposed route of HS2. His journey was intended to be 119 miles long, but it ended in failure. This is not just a story of physical exhaustion, however, but also a critique of humanity's most pressing failures: capitalism, community, the city, and our struggle to find our place in the world. It is also a deeply personal exploration of the author's relationship with his hometown and the city he lives in. Through his journey, Jeffreys sheds light on the complexities of modern life and the challenges we face as individuals and as a society. His account is both a poignant reflection on human nature and a thought-provoking examination of our place within it.
