Through the ages - and much to Helm鈥檚 amusement - humans seek to pin down the wind. Read by Hattie Morahan.
An elemental novel from the twice-nominated Booker author of BURNTCOAT and THE WOLF BORDER. Helm, the only named wind in the UK, has scoured the Eden Valley since the dawn of time. When people arrive, Helm becomes the subject of their myth and folklore but, as the Anthropocene takes us all past the point of no return, Helm鈥檚 very existence is threatened.
Helm鈥檚 peculiarities catch the eye of the intrepid Victorians while, in the present day, there are still investigations to be made near the top of Cross Fell.
