Distance and Memory
Peter Davidson
"This is a book about remoteness : a memoir of places observed in solitude, of the texture of life through the quiet course of the seasons in the far north of Scotland. It is a book grounded in the singularity of one place - a house in northern Aberdeenshire - and threaded through with an unshowy commitment to the lost and the forgotten. In these painterly essays Davidson reflects on art, place, history and landscape. Distance and memory is his testament to the cold, clear beauty of the north"-- Back cover. (from Google Books)
