Middleland

Dispatches from the Borders

An urgent, beautifully observed portrait of rural Britain and the politics that shape it, from the no. 1 bestselling author of Politics on the Edge
‘Rare and life-affirming’ MICHAEL MORPURGO
‘Personal, wise and often funny’ CAROLINE LUCAS

Rory Stewart spent nearly a decade as MP for Britain’s most rural constituency, Penrith and the Border, living among Cumbria’s fells, farms and ancient frontiers.

Drawing on pieces originally written for a local newspaper, Middleland is both a love letter to rural Britain – a place caught in tensions between farming and the natural world, between the need to preserve and to grow, between local needs and national demands – and a quietly radical exploration of how politics might better serve the people it represents.
