Description
Sea Bean by Sally Huband is longlisted for the Wainwright Nature Writing Prize 2023 and winner of the 2023 Highland Book Prize. It has also been named a Waterstones Nature and Travel Best Book of 2023.
"Modern, revealing and restorative, a coastal treasure." — Amy Liptrot
"Like its talismanic title, Huband's voice is distinct and singular. A gorgeous reckoning with the sea, islands and mythology." — Sinead Gleeson
"A wild melding of body and landscape. A deep, immersive, storm-tossed read." — Helen Jukes
"As vital and complex as the oceans themselves." — Joanna Pocock
A powerful journey of sea and self, trial and hope on the islands of Shetland.
On the storm-tossed beaches of the Shetland Archipelago, Sally Huband is searching. A message in a bottle, a mermaid's purse, a lobster trap tag, each find connects her more deeply with our oceans. But it is Sally's quest for a fabled sea bean that unlocks the myths of these islands and carries her through chronic illness towards a new and more resilient self.
