The End of the Road: A Journey Around Britain in Search of the Dead [Audiobook]

Posted By: joygourda

Date: 1 Apr 2021 09:54:06

A wonderfully quixotic, charming and surprisingly uplifting travelogue which sees Jack Cooke, drive around the British Isles in a clapped-out 40-year-old hearse in search of famous - and not so famous - tombs, graves and burial sites.

Along the way, he launches a daredevil trespass into Highgate Cemetery at night, stumbles across the remains of the Welsh Druid who popularised cremation and has time to sit and ponder the imponderables at the graveside of the Lady of Hoy, an 18th-century suicide victim whose body was kept in near condition by the bog in which she was buried. A truly unique, beautifully written and wonderfully imagined book.
