Surfacing by Kathleen Jamie

5.0

Ridiculous that I didn't buy this as soon as it came out - Jamie is one of the best nature writers there is, and this is a beautiful collection of essays. There are three long pieces - two on archaeological digs and one on a youthful trip to Tibet(ish) - interspersed with beautiful short observational essays. She's interested in nature and landscape, but also people and history and life.
