Publisher Review
'A lovely meander through foggy landscapes and their meanings' -- Katherine May 'A charming exploration of fog, mist, haar and haze that captures that dreamy state of mind that accompanies it and the uncanny aspect of low visibility. Laura Pashby guides us across gloomy moors lit by will-o-the-wisps, past clifftop beacons beating out their loyal rhythms, and through the labyrinthine, mist-wreathed streets of Venice. Eerie and evocative' -- Cal Flyn 'An ode to the magic of the unknown, the unpredictable and the unseen; Chasing Fog is both fascinating and gorgeously written. Haunting and beautiful, this surprising mix of nature-writing and memoir draws us into the strange and nuanced world of fog and reminds us of the potency and potential in moments of dream and drift' -- Rebecca Schiller 'Laura Pashby approaches that most mysterious and misunderstood weather with a photographer's eye and a writer's curiosity: this clear-sighted and loving ode to fog is a beautiful adventure' -- Alice Vincent 'Pashby's quest "to find a depth of meaning and magic" in fog results in a frequently beguiling and thought-provoking book, one that offers a way of looking at the world and its weather in a subtly different light' * Literary Review * 'An exquisite piece of nature writing' * i * 'Part nature writing, part memoir. It features the same signature writing style that pulls her readers along, as if walking just a step or two behind her as she explores' * Western Daily Press * 'A lushly sensuous exploration of the many possibilities that arise from fog, so vivid that by the end I could feel it clinging to my skin' -- Dr Sharon Blackie
