Other Side of the River by Eila Carrico

A journey through memory and time, personal and shared landscapes to discover the source, the flow and the deltas of women and water.

The Other Side of the River is a deep searching into the ways we become dammed and how we recover fluidity.

Rooted in rivers, inspired by wetlands, sources and tributaries, this book weaves its path between the banks of memory and story, from Florida to Kyoto, storm-ravaged New Orleans to London, via San Francisco and Ghana. We navigate through flood and drought to confront the place of wildness in the age of technology.

Part memoir, part manifesto, part travelogue and part love letter to myth and ecology, The Other Side of the River is an intricately woven tale of finding your flow and roots.
