Set against the breathtaking backdrop of northern England's Lake District and moors, the narrative follows a middle-aged English teacher on a transformative 192-mile hike along the Coast to Coast trail. As she journeys, literary figures from classics like Gollum and Jane Eyre accompany her thoughts, enriching her experience. Initially misanthropic, she gradually embraces the beauty around her, while grappling with her identity, reminiscent of both Frankenstein and his creature. This blend of travel and literary exploration offers a unique perspective on self-discovery.

In January 1921, D. H. Lawrence and his wife Frieda visited Sardinia. Although the trip lasted only nine days, Lawrence wrote an intriguing account of Sardinian life that not only evokes the place, people and local customs but is also deeply revealing about the writer himself.. "Remarkable for its metaphoric and symbolic descriptions, the book is transfused with the author's anger and joy. His prejudices and his political prophecies make Sea and Sardinia a unique and dynamic piece of travel writing.. "The Cambridge edition restores censored passages and corrects corrupt textual readings to reveal for the first time the book Lawrence himself called "A marvel of veracity.".
