Lisa Woollett grew up on eroding cliffs on the Isle of Sheppey, with stories of local pubs and churches that had been lost to the sea. A photographer and beachcomber, she is the author of several award-winning books, most recently Rag and Bone which won the Royal Society of Literature Giles St Aubyn Award for Non-Fiction. Since 2004 she has lived with her family on the south coast of Cornwall, in a house shared with buckets and boxes of beach finds.
Filled with incident, insight and human curiosity . . . In elegant, haunting, always lively prose, Lost to the Sea proposes a vision of the great power of the elemental sea: the mysteries it has concealed, revealed, and will eventually take back to itself . . . a fascinating alternative history of the fractured, flooded and eroded edges of Britain and Ireland. -- PHILIP HOARE A haunting evocation of vanishing places. Meticulously researched, Lost to the Sea delivers scene after scene of watery destruction at a host of crumbling, mythical or sunken sites - and a timely reminder of the transience of our coasts -- PHILIP MARSDEN
