About This Book
*‘I simply adore Simon Moreton’s WHERE? In it as in life, everything is connected; where we come from and where we are headed; the marks we leave on places and the marks we leave on each other. It’s a very special book indeed.’* **Max Porter**
In 2017, Simon Moreton’s father fell suddenly ill and died. His death sent the author back to his childhood home in rural Shropshire trying to process his grief by revisiting his family’s time as transplants to the countryside. In a memoir that that combines prose, illustration, photos, archival texts, and more, WHERE? weaves a gentle story that slips and slides in time and geography, creating connections across geographies, histories, families, times, and circumstance all to answer the question – ‘where are you from?’
