Table of ContentsReviewsHer ability to bring out the best in her subjects is born of a genuine horror at the unsustainability of the ways we live and the toll they are taking on places such as the Mesta valley. But Elixir is not a lecture ... Like the forests and fells it inhabits, it is by turns dark and mysterious and beautiful. Ecologically minded writing can often tell too much and show too little, but Kassabova sensibly lets the landscape and locals do the talking. * Financial Times * Uplifting and beautifully written... Kassabova's book...provide[s] a glorious cycle of stories and personal testimonies. * Spectator * Subtle prose that mingles empathy with perspective. * Economist * A laudable attempt to record an endangered region and a disappearing way of life. * Times Literary Supplement * Exceptional. * BBC Wildlife * Author InformationKapka Kassabova is a poet and prose writer and, most recently, the author of Elixir (2023), To the Lake (2020) and Border (2017).
