"Landscapes like the dead are what people carry with them"
Thank goodness for BBC Radio 4. This episode (“Start the Week”) is a wonderful listen. Listeners should be prepared for its scope as it discusses such things as Northumbrian geography/history, the debauchery involved in the “Grand Tour”, and the impact of capitalism on local geography. The greatest emotional punch is reserved for a review of a book about the effects of civil war on the regions around northern Greece and two lakes I had never heard of (Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa). The writer discusses a haunted landscape created by a war that people rarely speak of.

Coincidentally, after I had sent the post I discovered that the abridged book by Kapka Kassabova's: To the Lake: A Balkan Journey of War and Peace was being broadcast on the radio. I am not sure if UK radio is accessible elsewhere.
