Notes on Not Belonging from the English Countryside

This book is a hymn to getting lost. Drawing on his experience as a troubled schoolboy, a burnt-out screenwriter, and an ‘awkward’ Church of England priest, Colin Heber-Percy reflects on the value of not belonging. There is reassurance and safety in knowing who we are and where we fit in, but at significant moments in our lives – a new job, new school or just in the ruts of everyday life – we can experience a sense of dislocation, of being lost in a forest. Rather than fearing the forest, Colin discovers great value and creativity there. He encourages us to relish the liberation of losing our way. Blending anecdotes from parish life, with philosophy, literature and tales from his local Savernake Forest, Colin argues that there is an overlooked richness to be found outside the boundary lines.

In conversation with Jon Woolcott.
