Alston Moor

Alston Moor

by Anne Charnock  / Goldsmiths Press
Paperback, 252pp.
GoldSF series

Alston Moor is work of literary eco-fiction, interweaving contemporary and historical narratives to explore humanity’s relationship with landscape and the overwhelming anxieties faced in each era.

In an epic novel set on the Pennine Moors, Elizabeth abandons avalanche science to restore desolate peatlands, trekking in the footsteps of Isabel who, five centuries earlier, herds her cattle to remote summering grounds. They grapple with the overwhelming crises of their eras – by turn, the tumult of the Protestant Reformation and the ecological catastrophe of climate change.
