WITH A NEW AFTERWORD FROM THE AUTHOR

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER

WINNER OF THE PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE AND THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE

After spending her twenties in London, Amy Liptrot returns to her home in Orkney where she comes to terms with the addiction that has consumed the past decade of her life. On the remote island, Amy spends her mornings swimming in the cold sea, her days observing wildlife, and her nights searching the sky for any signs of the Northern Lights. She soon discovers how the natural world can restore life, heal old wounds and renew hope.
