About this product

Product Information

At the age of thirty, Amy Liptrot finds herself washed up back home on Orkney. Standing unstable on the island, she tries to come to terms with the addiction that has swallowed the last decade of her life. As she spends her mornings swimming in the bracingly cold sea, her days tracking Orkney's wildlife, and her nights searching the sky for the Merry Dancers, Amy discovers how the wild can restore life and renew hope.

  • Skillfully and beautifully written

    I loved this book and have recommended to friends. We knew the Liptrots when we lived in Orkney and most of the people and places the author mentions in Orkney are known to me, so it was a very personal experience for me to be allowed to share in Amy Liptrot's very personal experience. The copy I purchased was described as 'Like New'; something of an exaggeration since the cover was damaged and the book well thumbed. Nevertheless it was a good price and I loved it.

  • Orkney Inspiration

    Fantastic read. You really feel like you get to know the magic of Orkney and it's Islands through Amy's words. One of my favourite books, so good I've recommended this book to several friends who also love it.

  • An interesting read

    Enjoyed reading the book especially as I live in Orkney and they are currently filming for the film to be released next year no doubt. A brave book to write as it exposes her and her family to all the frailties of life.
