SUMMARY:The North Road - Rob Cowen
DESCRIPTION:Hear about the unforgettable exploration of Britain’s 400-mile highway in an author interview with Rob Cowen and his novel The North Road.  \nA captivating evening with award-winning writer Rob Cowen\, as he discusses his remarkable and genre-defying book\, The North Road\, in conversation with Dr Tim Rideout. \nAt the heart of The North Road lies one of Britain’s oldest and most iconic highways—the A1. Known historically as The Great North Road\, this 400-mile stretch has been many things over the last two millennia: a Roman road\, a pilgrim’s path\, a coaching route\, and a modern motorway. But in Cowen’s hands\, it becomes something much more—a living\, breathing thread that connects the country’s past\, present\, and possible futures. \nWinding through time and memory\, The North Road explores the layered history of the landscape and those who have walked it. Part memoir\, part travelogue\, part cultural history\, the book is a deeply personal exploration of belonging\, movement\, and the stories we build upon the land. Cowen weaves tales of ancient wayfarers and modern travellers\, myth and reality\, asphalt and soil\, offering a profound meditation on identity and place. \nIn this intimate author interview during Newark Book Festival\, Rob Cowen will share insights into the inspiration\, research\, and writing process behind The North Road\, as well as reflect on the emotional and intellectual journey he undertook to write it. Expect a conversation rich in history\, storytelling\, and the quiet power of landscape. \nWhether you’re a fan of nature writing\, interested in the hidden histories of Britain\, or simply love a compelling human story grounded in place\, this is an evening not to miss. \nThere will be a book signing at the end and copies of The North Road will be available to purchase on the night or before the event at Newark Book Festival’s book shop at the Town Hall. \nA dazzlingly inventive work of literature’ – Robert Macfarlane \n‘A wonderful\, epic braiding of history\, geography and personal memoir’ – James Rebanks \n‘Stunning… It will stay with me.’ – Raynor Winn
