You have to take life for granted, the artist thinks, the whole thing: sunrises and slow Sunday mornings and water balloons and another person&rsquo;s breath against your neck. That&rsquo;s the only courageous thing a person can do. In the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world three tiny figures sit at the end of a pier. Most people don&rsquo;t even notice them. Most people think it&rsquo;s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise. Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of teenagers seek refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days together. They tell jokes, they share secrets, and they commit small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning, a reason to dream, a reason to love. Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into 18-year-old Louisa&rsquo;s care. Determined to learn how it came to be and to decide what to do with it, Louisa embarks on a cross-country journey. But the closer she gets to the painting&rsquo;s birthplace, the more nervous she becomes. In this stunning testament to the transformative, timeless power of friendship and art, Louisa is proof that happy endings don&rsquo;t always take the form we expect.

<b>'Fabulous... What a ghost story! A ripping read.' IAIN SINCLAIR, author of <i>London Orbital</i></b><br/><br/><b>'Vividly celebrates Bowie as not just a chameleonic visionary, but a nomadic one, a creature informed by place and circumstance.' STUART MACONIE</b><br/><b><br/><i>'Bowieland </i>will make you want to take your very own pilgrimage, accompanied by the great man's songs.' ALEXANDER LARMAN, <i>THE OBSERVER</i></b><br/><b><br/>'A sublime, time-travelling quest.' TIFFANY MURRAY, author of <i>My Family and Other Rock Stars</i></b><br/><b><br/>'A joyful and fascinating journey which anchors Bowie's genius in the pavements.' KEVIN LOADER, producer of <i>The Buddha of Suburbia<br/><br/></i></b><b>BOWIE IS STILL OUT THERE...</b><br/><br/>Following open heart surgery, Peter Carpenter was given one instruction - walk if you want to stay alive. So, when his hero died in 2016, he knew what he had to do. The figure who was to so many a companion and guide had left no single focal point for homage. To reconnect with him, Carpenter would take a walk into the past, to the places where David Jones became something more: David Bowie.<br/><br/>Leaving behind well-known shrines to Bowie, he journeyed through South London edgelands to obscurer haunts. Carpenter's quest, a series of happy accidents and chance meetings, took him to Bickley as well as Berlin and Brixton, to Eel Pie Island as well as Heddon Street and Beckenham.<br/><br/>Carpenter's perambulations echo Bowie's own wandering creative spirit. They reveal multiple influences, both conscious and unconscious, in Bowie's creative development. Ultimately, Carpenter reaches a fresh understanding of where Bowie sits in the culture, not as an outlier, but as part of a tradition, informed by those artists, poets and musicians who passed on their wisdom to him. A celebration of the revelatory powers of walking, and by no means just for Bowie obsessives, BOWIELAND opens up our geography in ways rarely seen or so well understood.
