A cross between Rebecca Solnit, Nan Shepherd and Robert Macfarlane, this memoir intersperses stories of the weather, wildlife, and history of the Orkneys with the author's personal story of healing and recovery from alcoholism in that landscape.

Very readable and will appeal to nature lovers and those interested in mental health equally.
