On the Marshes is Carol Donaldson's extraordinary evocation of the north Kentish marshes, told through a long walk taken across this liminal landscape, in search of the people and wildlife that make this unusual landscape their home.
Carol Donaldson's move to the shores of the North Kent marshes during a period of personal difficulty fixed her with a sense of the redemptive power of a simple life immersed in nature. Donaldson reflects on this way of life, and meets others in this landscape between Gravesend and Whitstable finding a similar immersion in the environment.
