From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Red of My Blood and My Wild and Sleepless Nights comes an inspiring memoir about home, family, and belonging.
In The Giant on the Skyline, Stroud has produced something exceptional: a mystical meditation on what home means and what constitutes belonging. It is magical, haunting, and profoundly moving.
Spectator: "Stroud's best book yet: candid, primal, irresistibly intense." - Julie Myerson
Full of personality, humor, and heart, "I did not want it to end." - Lily Dunn
One of the books we're most looking forward to in 2024. - Good Housekeeping
What is it that makes a home? What is a home without the roots that tie you to a place? What is a home when a family is split?
Clover's eldest children are leaving home for university. Her husband, Pete's work is in America. The only way for Clover and the younger children to live with him is to uproot, leave their rural life near the ancient Ridgeway in Oxfordshire, and move to Washington, DC.
Forced to leave the home she loves, Clover sets out to explore the place where she lives, understand the history of her landscape, and work out why it is so hard for her to go.
In this profound and moving memoir, Sunday Times bestselling author Clover Stroud paints a beautifully layered portrait of family, community, and of belonging.
