Jaimie Carragher is doing what he enjoys best: opining about modern football, tactical nuance and Liverpool FC

—— Mail on Sunday

Caesar is very good on the personalities, mixing the art and science of distance running with vignettes about the athletes

—— Matthew Syed , The Times

A fine, engaging study of human endurance and the competitive spirit of marathon runners. Caesar wears his considerable research into most aspects of the marathon - its history, science, and the spectre of performance-enhancing drugs - with a loping, easy style

Fascinating. Will be enjoyed by anyone who has completed long runs along canals, through parks and down suburban streets

There is much spirit in Two Hours and much human warmth

'Two Hours breaks new ground'

Caesar has established himself as perhaps the best new long-form magazine writer since the arrival of John Jeremiah Sullivan

This sequel sees the pair trying unsatisfactorily to readjust to normal life before finding ways to reharness nature's healing power

Moving. A must-read for anyone inspired by The Salt Path . . . another thoughtful memoir

The quality of Winn's writing draws us through the story with the same emotional honesty, lyricism and warmth that epitomises The Salt Path

—— Resurgence & Ecologist

A poignant and passionate, grounded yet uplifting journey of discovery in which we learn what can be found after all seems lost, The Wild Silence is a testament to the transformative power of nature and the fresh hope it nurtures within ourselves

—— Steven McKenzie, editor of The Big Issue

Picks up the story where Winn's astonishing The Salt Path left off

Wise, unflinching, exquisite prose

Want a book that's going to leave you chilled to the bone? This is it!

—— Fabulous Magazine

Sarah Pearse's chilling debut is making waves. The Sanatorium certainly has an eerie, cinematic appeal [...] With whispers of The Shining in setting and The Girl on the Train in pace.

—— Vanity Fair

I absolutely loved The Sanatorium - it gave me all the wintry thrills and chills. It was just wonderful.

—— Lucy Foley, bestselling author of THE HUNTING PARTY and THE GUEST LIST

Genuinely scary and deliciously atmospheric, and one of the best books of 2021, this international bestseller is guaranteed to give you goosebumps.

—— Woman & Home

What a page-turner! Like Agatha Christie crossed with Scandi noir, and doing with Swiss mountains what Jane Harper books do with the Australian outback. Loved it, and can't wait for the next Elin book!

—— Andrea Mara, author of ALL HER FAULT
