Embark on a captivating journey through time and terrain with Ruth Allen's "Weathering". This remarkable book draws intriguing parallels between the enduring nature of rocks and mountains and the human experience of change and resilience.
Allen, a seasoned outdoor psychotherapist and geologist, expertly weaves together her dual expertise to illuminate how the ancient landscapes that surround us can offer profound insights into our own lives. With the precision of a scientist and the empathy of a therapist, she explores how geological processes mirror our personal transformations, inviting readers to view their own experiences of grief, change, and personal boundaries through a geological lens.
In an era marked by global upheaval - be it environmental, political, or medical - "Weathering" presents a compelling case for reconnecting with the earth beneath our feet. Allen's prose is as layered and nuanced as the rock formations she describes, offering readers a fresh perspective on resilience and adaptation in the face of life's challenges.
This thought-provoking work encourages us to embrace the wisdom of the natural world, suggesting that by understanding the processes that have shaped our planet over millennia, we might better navigate the ever-shifting terrain of our own lives. "Weathering" is an essential read for anyone seeking to cultivate a deeper connection with both the natural world and their inner landscape.

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.’
