Description:

Part memoir, part travelogue, legendary writer Jim Perrin charts a journey of loss, love and grief in the face of the deaths of his wife and son. Simply extraordinary, West is set to become a classic of its kind. 'West's hand grasps your heart so violently as to leave thumbprints... I came out at the end feeling that my face had been breathed on by fire; I had been washed in the writer's scalding tears... Peerless.' Independent

Synopsis:

West tells the story of Jim Perrin's life against the lives and deaths of his cherished wife and son, and the landscapes through which they travelled together. It is a complex and sensual love-story, a celebration of the beauty and redemptive power of wild nature and an extraordinary account of one man's journey towards the acceptance of devastating personal loss.
