Description
Nick Hunt's journey intertwines personal memories with an adventurous exploration of the diverse winds that sweep across Europe. Raised in the shadow of a childhood encounter with nature's ferocity during the Great Storm of 1987, he embarks on an enchanting trek from the high Pennines to the sun-drenched landscapes of Provence, seeking to understand the stories woven into the very air around him.
Through vivid and poetic prose, Hunt captures the essence of each region's unique gales, revealing how the winds have shaped both the topography and the culture of the places he visits. Along the way, readers are invited to experience the rich tapestry of history and folklore surrounding these invisible forces, all while reflecting on humanity's connection to the natural world.
