Every Stranger a God

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of northern England's Lake District and moors, the narrative follows a middle-aged English teacher on a transformative 192-mile hike along the Coast to Coast trail. As she journeys, literary figures from classics like Gollum and Jane Eyre accompany her thoughts, enriching her experience. Initially misanthropic, she gradually embraces the beauty around her, while grappling with her identity, reminiscent of both Frankenstein and his creature. This blend of travel and literary exploration offers a unique perspective on self-discovery.
