Some travellers are driven by the need to scale a natural wonder, or to see acity’s sights or a place of history. Others, like Alice Maddicott, travel insearch of a particular scene, feeling or atmosphere, often inspired by music,literature and art. Taking us deep into our emotional and creative responses toplace, this extraordinary book explores the author’s relentless travelling, fromthe heat of Sicily to the mountains of Japan. With her uniquely lyricalapproach to psycho-geography, Maddicott explores the relationship withlandscape that is the very essence of human creativity.
From seventeenth-century salons of Paris to the underground culture andcrumbling balconies of modern Tbilisi, through writers as diverse as ItaloCalvino and L. M. Montgomery and artists like Ana Mendieta andeighteenth-century girls embroidering their lives, Tender Maps isa beautifully evocative book of travel,culture and imagination that transports readers in time and place.
‘A rich and beguiling work of literary travel memoir that nimbly tracks the wider contours of the worldin terms of feeling, memory, introspection and the imagination.’ - Travis Elborough,author of Atlas of Vanishing Places
