The Ghost Lake - Wendy Pratt (Wetherby bookshop)

The Ghost Lake is a deeply personal, lyrical and

stirring meditation on local history and changing

landscapes that intertwines nature writing with an

exploration of grief, belonging, and the lives and

legacies of rural working-class people.

Paleolake Flixton is an extinct lake in North Yorkshire,

human occupation of the site dates back thousands of years

to prehistoric times. Over the millennia, the vast lake has

disappeared and today all that is left of it is a watermark. Wendy

will take her audience on a pilgrimage around this ghost lake, to

locations that have acted as journey markers in her own life.

conversation around this wonderful book. This event will be

perfect for lovers of local history and memoir.
