An atmospheric memoir of the season of change from the no. 1 bestselling novelist Kate Mosse
'When the leaves turn to copper and there is dew on the grass in the early morning, I still have that same spike of expectation and anticipation'
In Autumn, Kate Mosse celebrates the season of shifting light, sharpened pencils and crisp mornings. This magical journey through the turning year captures the ever-changing colours of the autumn landscape, the crunch of leaves underfoot, the drift of migrating birds and the last warmth of the sun.
Starting in her own back garden, Kate leads us out to the misty Fishbourne marshes of her childhood, with their vast skies and wading birds, and into ancient yew forests steeped in myth and mystery. We travel across the harvest fields, follow the bends of the River Ouse, and join the crowds at Lewes on Bonfire Night, where the air crackles with flame and torchlight.
Exploring nature, folklore and history, Autumn is a love letter to Sussex and an atmospheric portrait of the season from one of our most celebrated writers.
