In this acutely perceived and beautifully written book, the bestselling author of \u003cb\u003eBad Land\u003c\/b\u003e turns that voyage which coincided with the Falklands war of 1982-into an occasion for meditations on his country, his childhood, and the elusive notion of home. \u003cbr\u003eWhether he s chatting with bored tax exiles on the Isle of Man, wrestling down a mainsail during a titanic gale, or crashing a Scottish house party where the kilted guests turn out to be Americans, Raban is alert to the slightest nuance of meaning. One can read \u003cb\u003eCoasting\u003c\/b\u003e for his precise naturalistic descriptions or his mordant comments on the new England, where the principal industry seems to be the marketing of Englishness. But one always reads it with pleasure.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Coasting: A Private Voyage | Jonathan Raban | Paperback | 9780140106572 | Used: Good | Travelogues 1584920","offer_id":48368904110232,"sku":"1584920","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91-Qj7tWQgL.jpg?v=1773264105","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/coasting-a-private-voyage","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
