This is now my favorite nature/natural book. I listened on Audio but will definitely purchase a copy. As my agoraphobia worsened this winter this book made me question if I just not in the right location. (US) It reminded me of home (Ireland) and how important landscapes are to our psyche. It reads like poetry, with descriptions that take your breath away. I recommend to all interested in Western Scottish Croft life. #NaturalLitsy

TheBookHippie Oh I‘m going to get this. My good friend -who is terminal misses Ireland so much. I‘ll read this to her. 1y
Cuilin @TheBookHippie so sorry to hear about your friend. Yes it would be a beautiful read. Scotland and Ireland are more similar than I thought. 1y
kspenmoll Where do you live in US? Some Irish friends of mine thought Maine & its coast reminded them of Ireland. 1y

Cuilin @kspenmoll I‘m in New Hampshire. Closer to Vermont than Maine. Though I do like Maine. 1y
