Another beautifully written book by @herdyshepherd.bsky.social. A great relief from all the trumpishness, and a joy to read.

Finished... like all the best non-fiction, it's about so much more than its subject - it's made me think about legacy, loss and resilience and how individuals can make a difference to the world.

A wonderful book... even though it put a little dust in my eye...

Thank you @herdyshepherd.bsky.social

I just finished the Place of Tides by @herdyshepherd.bsky.social James Rebanks.

A beautiful read! I got a glimpse of the life of a “duck woman” and how remarkable people are just people.

Thank you

I had to stay away from them so I wasn’t influenced

But I intend to read them soon

Love The Place of Tides by James Rebanks @herdyshepherd.bsky.social On that topic, I recommend Roy Jacobson's novels about the hardships on the islands.

“The rain beat on the windows and the wind howled, and eventually we settled further into our places in the scrufly old living room and began to talk.”

This book by @herdyshepherd.bsky.social
is as precious as eiderdown has been in those days.

Thank you, James Rebanks!

Just finished The Place of Tides by @herdyshepherd.bsky.social. It's a remarkable book. Deeply beautiful, sparse and timeless. Reminds me of Tove Jansson's The Summer Book. Definitely recommend.
