The literary debut that won the author, journalist Amy Liptrot (born 1984), the 2016 Wainwright Prize for Best Nature Book and the 2017 PEN Ackerley Prize for Best Autobiography, is the story of an escape from bustling London to the flooded meadows of the Orkney Islands. Told in the form of a candid diary, it documents the heroine-narrator's finding herself through her struggle with the false attachments (cigarettes - Coca-Cola - relationships - the internet) that replaced the city's experiences with alcohol and drugs. Once a young Amy left a remote archipelago island in northeast Scotland to conquer the capital of the kingdom, joining the legion of freelance workers in the creative industries. Now she makes the journey back, along the way discovering the wild power of the Atlantic Ocean and reconciling the past with the present. What began as forced self-isolation has turned into the birth of a new life. The book has become a notable event in contemporary British prose, giving rise to a fashion for a half-forgotten corner of the Scottish coast.
