Many years ago, James Rebanks met an old woman on a remote Norwegian island. She lived alone, caring for wild Eider ducks and gathering their down, a centuries-old trade in decline. Years later, Rebanks wrote to her and was invited back to witness her final season on the island. He travelled to the edge of the Arctic to witness her isolated work and deep understanding of the ancient landscape. What began as an escape turned into a profound lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness.

“Humane, beautifully paced, gentle, and strangely compelling, The Place Of Tides feels like, not only a modern classic, but one we very much need right now.” – George Saunders
