After writing acclaimed books about Afghanistan and Iraq, the Tory MP and government minister Rory Stewart turns his attention closer to home in The Marches. This is the beautifully written account of travelling with his 90-year-old father along the border between Scotland and England: he by foot, his father by car. The Marches is a moving memoir, one that discusses the meaning of family bonds on a father and son’s final trip together. It also explores the meaning of national borders.
