Simon will be chatting to us about his new book ‘WHERE?’, a memoir exploring life and death in the Shropshire Hills that combines prose, illustration, photos, archival texts.

About the book

In 2017, Simon Moreton’s father fell suddenly ill and died. His death sent the author back to his childhood home in rural Shropshire to process his grief by revisiting his family’s time as transplants to the countryside. WHERE? weaves a gentle story that slips and slides in time and geography, creating connections across places, histories, families, times, and circumstance all to answer the question – ‘where are you from?’

Praise for WHERE?

‘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, author of 'Lanny' and 'Grief is The Thing With Feathers'
