This collection of lyrical memoir essays made me feel like reading poetry. I enjoyed each individual chapter, but as a book, it felt a little disjointed—I would've liked more of an overarching theme (beyond “nature”) to tie it all together.

A fast-paced, educational memoir that follows the author through a series of essays about nature. I found it an easy read with many interesting viewpoints (‘sightlines’) and facts. It made me reconsider my definition of ‘nature’, which I believe Jamie intended.

Beautifully written. You can really imagine all the scenes and the beautiful lively nature. This book takes you on a trip with different ways to see the northern Scottish iles and the way nature is tied into living there. Like other people said in their reviews; this makes me yearn to explore and go north.

a beautiful collection of essays reflecting on nature, especially cold Scottish and northern weather a (and whales). Made me wish I could go adventuring.
And a book that makes me grateful for Book Clubs, as I never would've read this on my own
