  A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 
  ‘An absolute joy to read and an early contender for every list of History Books of the Year’ Sunday Telegraph 
  ‘On nearly every page a random passage takes one’s breath away’ The Times 
  Have you ever heard the march of legions on a lonely country road?  
  For two thousand years, the roads the Romans built have determined the flow of ideas and folktales, where battles were fought and where pilgrims trod. Almost everyone in Britain lives close to a Roman road, if only we knew where to look. 
  In the beginning was Watling Street, the first road scored on the land when the invading Romans arrived on a cold and alien Kentish shore in 43 CE. Campaign roads rolled out to all points of the compass, forcing their way inland and as the Britons fell back, the roads pursued them relentlessly, carrying troops, supplies and military despatches. In the years of fighting that followed, as the legions pushed onwards across what is now England, into Wales and north into Scotland in search of booty, mineral wealth, land and tribute, they left behind a vast road network, linking marching camps and forts, changing the landscape, etching the story of the Roman advance into the face of the land, channelling our lives today. 
  Christopher Hadley, acclaimed author of Hollow Places, takes us on a lyrical journey into this past, retracing and searching for an elusive Roman road that sprang from one of the busiest road hubs in Roman Britain. His passage is not always easy. Time and nature have erased many clues; bridges rotted and whole woods grew across the route. Carters found an easier ford downstream, and people broke up its milestones to mend new paths. Year after year the heavy clay swallowed whole lengths of it; the once mighty road became a bridleway, an overgrown hollow-way, a parched mark in the soil. 
  Hadley leads us on a hunt to discover, in Hilaire Belloc’s phrase, ‘all that has arisen along the way’. Gathering traces of archaeology, history and landscape from poems, church walls, hag stones and cropmarks, oxlips, killing places, hauntings and immortals, and things buried too deep for archaeology, The Road is a mesmerising journey into two thousand years of history only now giving up its secrets. 
  In his latest work, The Road, Christopher Hadley delves into the historical and social aspects of Roman roads, enriching them with elements of mythology and folklore. His unique approach to historiography breathes new life into our understanding of past civilizations and their impact on our current geography. 
  For fans of Matthew Green (Shadowlands), Robert Macfarlane (Mountains of the Mind), Amy Jeffs (Storyland), Andrew Ziminski (Church Going), and Eleanor Parker (Winters in the World).

  Set in pre-revolutionary France, "Dangerous Liaisons" is an epistolary novel that revolves around the cynical Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, two former lovers who engage in a web of seduction, manipulation, and betrayal. Through their letters, the novel exposes the moral corruption and decadence of the French aristocracy. With themes of sexual intrigue, power dynamics, and the consequences of unbridled passions, Laclos crafts a gripping and psychologically intricate narrative that continues to captivate readers today. "Dangerous Liaisons" remains a timeless exploration of human desires and the destructive nature of games played with hearts. 
   
  Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, a French army general and writer, is most famous for his epistolary novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" ("Dangerous Liaisons"), published in 1782. The novel, exploring themes of seduction, manipulation, and revenge among the French aristocracy, became a literary classic and a seminal work of French literature.
