In the wake of unimaginable loss, one man embarks on an extraordinary journey to navigate the treacherous waters of grief and pay tribute to the love of his life. "Moderate Becoming Good Later" is an exhilarating and deeply moving memoir that chronicles the sea kayaking odyssey of Simon Carr, who sets out to conquer the areas of the Shipping Forecast after the sudden passing of his beloved wife. As he paddles through the tumultuous waves and unpredictable weather, Simon finds solace in the rhythm of the sea and the memories that sustain him. But when cancer strikes, it's up to his sister Katie to complete the voyage in his honor, a poignant testament to the unbreakable bonds of family and the resilience of the human spirit.
Penned by Katie Carr and her late brother Toby, this profoundly moving memoir is a celebration of life, love, and the healing power of adventure. With raw honesty and vivid prose, the authors transport readers to the breathtaking landscapes of the British Isles, where every stroke of the paddle becomes a poetic meditation on loss, resilience, and the enduring legacy we leave behind.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
