A multi-layered memoir of love, acceptance, finding home and the redemptive power of nature.

In 2006, Mike Parker and his partner Peredur were witnesses at the civil partnership of their friends Reg and George, the first in the small Welsh town of MachynllethYears later, when Reg and George died within a few weeks of each other, Mike and Peredur discovered that they had been left their home: a whitewashed ''house from the children''s stories'', buried deep within the hills.

On the Red Hill is the story of Rhiw Goch, ''the Red Hill'', and its inhabitants, but also the story of a remarkable rural community and a legacy that extends far beyond bricks and mortarIt is a story that celebrates the turn of the year''s wheel, of ever-changing landscapes, and of the family found in the unlikeliest of places.

Highly commended by the judging panel for the 2020 Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing
