Join Sophie Pierce and Charles Foster at Blackwell's Bookshop in Oxford for a thought-provoking event centered around Sophie's book, "The Green Hill." This powerful work delves into the themes of mortality and the natural world, offering a unique perspective on grief and the healing power of nature.

"The Green Hill" is the result of Sophie's personal journey following the sudden and tragic loss of her son, Felix. Through writing letters to Felix during walks and swims near his resting place by the River Dart, Sophie discovered a way to navigate the overwhelming landscape of grief. These heartfelt letters, combined with Sophie's poignant memories of Felix's life, create a deeply moving narrative that celebrates the beauty of the natural world and its role in our lives.

Sophie's story is complemented by the presence of Charles Foster, a renowned writer and Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford. Charles brings his expertise in various fields, including natural history, archaeology, and philosophy, to further explore the profound questions that arise when confronted with loss and our own mortality.

Bridge of Sighs

陌染MM

The Bridge of Sighs (Oxford University, UK) is officially called Hertford Bridge. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. The construction of the Bridge of Sighs began in 1913 (completed in 1914). It crosses New College Road and connects the old and new parts of Hertford College. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. It was designed by Sir Thomas Jackson. Because the bridge is similar to the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, it is called the Bridge of Sighs. I came to Oxford University with a tour group and could only take a quick look.
