"The water was Sheeny in the gloaming"
I love that line. This was a wonderful book, easily one of the best I have ever read.
I was expecting it to be good and all about nature, what I wasn't expecting was to be taken into the authors life, to experience all that she was going through, all the family issues. You really get to feel just how much she wants to escape from it all and be at peace with nature.
A couple of favourite parts in the book were scouring the remote Scottish island beaches for anything interesting that might have washed up... of course there had to be a road cone. Also watching the peregrines was very interesting and the fact that she found a copy of a book I have always wanted to read [b:The Peregrine|1071726|The Peregrine|J.A.

Looking forward to reading her next book called sightlines.
