Transcendent. A meandering combination of memoir, history, ecology, archaeology, and so much more that takes a mudlark's path from the tidal head of the Thames out to the Estuary where it meets the sea. Full of rich observations of the tiny details that make up the human lives that have characterized the Thames for the past few thousand years, at least, and the objects that they leave behind in the mud to be discovered. Full of easy prose that makes you feel like you're walking alongside her, mudlarking yourself and discovering new things along that meandering journey. Highly recommend.
