Findings by Kathleen Jamie
5.0
There is something about the way that Jamie writes that captivates and immerses you in the subject that she writes about.
This book is no exception to that.
The subject, or short essays, that are in this book are not exclusively about the natural world, but most are. As she writes on the matter at hand, I feel her passion and her strengths, her weakness and doubts, and all the time I am amazed by the attention to detail that she has in her prose. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether she is writing about peregrines or her husbands fever, you feel alongside, seeing the things that she has seen, feeling the wind and smelling the sea.
This is effortless, exquisite reading.
