An evening with Rob Cowen – The North Road

7 May 2025

19:00 - 20:15

Wave of Nostalgia, Haworth

“Haunted and haunting: Cowen tracks the London-Edinburgh highway in a mesmerising exploration of time, place, memory and identity. A dazzlingly inventive work of literature.“ Robert Macfarlane

“Stunning and utterly unique. The North Road sits in a genre of one. He’s a magician whose brilliance lies not in trickery, but in real talent and a wild, untamed imagination that’s capable of transcending time.” Benjamin Myers

“An intricate tapestry of tarmac, humanity and time, as rich as the dark earth on which his many threads lie. It will stay with me. Stunning.” Raynor Winn

The award-winning author of Common Ground and The Heeding, Rob will read from his book, answer questions and sign copies.

The event is at 7PM on 7th May at Wave of Nostalgia, 74 Main Street Haworth BD22 8DP or on Zoom

Tickets are £5 and include 10% off all books in the shop at the event.
