A love letter to life on the remote British islands of Shetland and to a wilder way of living, from one of our most celebrated poets.
'This book has been my friend' - Amy Liptrot, bestselling author of
The Outrun
'I was transported' - Katherine May, bestselling author of Wintering
'Deeply thoughtful and beautifully written' - Sarah Moss, bestselling author of Summerwater
In her late twenties, poet Jen Hadfield moved to Shetland to make a new life. Here, in a rugged constellation of islands known for their isolation and drama, she found a place teeming with life, where rare seabirds blow in on Atlantic gales, an ancient language thrives, and a close-knit community is the beating heart of an entire world.
Hadfield transports us to the islands as a local, introducing us to the remote and beautiful archipelago where she has made her home, and shows us new ways of living at the edge.
From the winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize, the Highland Book Prize and recipient of the Windham Campbell Prize.
