Description
A WATERSTONES BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2024
The border between England and Scotland is rich in history. It has been the site of battles, treaties, castles, and crossroads. But it can also be a lens through which to look at the changing history and identities of these two countries.
Between Britain is a one-hundred-mile journey through eight centuries. It is a history book, a travelogue, a personal reminiscence, and a gently prodding examination of national identity. But above all, it is a celebration of a place and the people who live there.
