Description
Time Song brings together fragments from Julia Blackburn's own life with stories about the past, including the creation and loss of Doggerland, a country that once connected the east coast of England to mainland Europe. Blackburn weaves these tales into eighteen 'songs' and shares her encounters with people and places she meets on her quest for understanding.
She explores the footprints of early humans, fossilised in estuary mud, and visits a cave where Neanderthal remains have turned to stone. In Denmark, she sits beside Tollund Man, who has lain undisturbed since the start of the Iron Age. Through these stories, Time Song reveals Julia Blackburn's unique writing style, bringing surprises, epiphanies, and phrases of great beauty and simplicity.
