"""Nicolson's chronicle is a fine book. Readers . . . will be duly awed by his delicately layered story."" --Erica Sanders, The New York Times Book Review ""No other book has given me as rich a sense of what makes a small island so revelatory of our life on Earth."" --London Review of Books ""A lovely biography of a place: the Shiants, in the Hebrides, are an island threesome of grass, wind, and birds that have had a long human presence and are sometimes the home of travel and environmental writer Nicolson . . . Rich with history and curiosity."" --Kirkus Reviews ""An adventure story with Hemingway highs and is also unselfconscious, wonderfully idiosyncratic, and, above all, beautifully written."" --Literary Review"
