"Helm" the only named wind in England has swept through the Cumbria Valley for eons. Sarah Hall tells the story of this wind through the lens of many individuals through the ages, from first human beings to a meteorologist a few years in the future and she gives voice to the wind itself. A wonderful perspective on how, once humans live in this world they can never not be intertwined with nature. And nature, especially Helm, will not be ignored or shut out. It is a fascinating story of how we as humans make sense of and interact with natural phenomena. Atmospheric, beautifully written, this book will make anyone who reads it think very differently about windy weather.
