Synopsis
Olivia Laing embarks on a journey along the River Ouse in England, tracing its path from source to sea. This exploration intertwines with reflections on the life and death of Virginia Woolf, who drowned in the same river. Laing weaves together natural history, literary criticism, and personal memoir to meditate on themes of landscape, loss, and the creative process.
