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.

Beautifully crafted book

Loved this story and will listen to it again. So much life and hope in Amy's tale. Fascinating imagery of life in the Orkney Islands. The reading by Tracey Wiles was excellent.

Very informative

I learnt a lot about the Scottish islands. I also hope that Amy has remained sober

Amazing

I just loved this so much. Transported me away. I have a better understanding of addiction.
