To Battersea Park

Hensher, Philip, author2023 - 2024English
When a pandemic strikes, and a country's whole population is told to close the doors and stay inside, the reality of a few streets in a capital city emerges. An underground river is discovered; an urban grove of trees emerges. There is time now to see the human dramas within a hundred yards (an abduction, a quiet breakdown, an outbreak of violence); to wait for the weather to change; to understand that what lies underneath this part of the city are seasonally wet pastures and woodlands. Written in four parts, 'To Battersea Park' explores the strata and sediment of a single place and time. It shows what brings us together, through love, through the clashes of what we want to do and what the world wants to do with us.
