Synopsis: A tender portrait of grief and a exploration of the relationship between loss and the English landscape.
Weather and loss are two things everyone has to deal with. At some point you will be drenched by an unforeseen rainstorm, and at some point the people you love will die.
Using a wide range of source material, including Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, Kate Bush's Hounds of Love, Mark Fisher's The Weird and the Eerie and Anthony Gormley's LAND, as well as an account of the author's own process of grieving for her father, Spectral Weathers attempts to map the emotional resonances of loss onto the English landscape.
Part memoir, part cultural critique, Spectral Weathers considers the impact of grief and loss on both ourselves and the environment around us, helping us to navigate through the path of grief that on first glance has no signposts, no way markers, and no end.
