520    When Amy Liptrot returns to Orkney after more than a 
       decade away, she is drawn back to the Outrun on the sheep 
       farm where she grew up. Approaching the land that was once
       home, memories of her childhood merge with the recent 
       events that have set her on this journey. Amy was shaped 
       by the cycle of the seasons, birth and death on the farm, 
       and her father's mental illness, which were as much a part
       of her childhood as the wild, carefree existence on 
       Orkney. But as she grew up, she longed to leave this 
       remote life. She moved to London and found herself in a 
       hedonistic cycle. Unable to control her drinking, alcohol 
       gradually took over. Now thirty, she finds herself washed 
       up back home on Orkney, standing unstable at the cliff 
       edge, trying to come to terms with what happened to her in
       London. Spending early mornings swimming in the bracingly 
       cold sea, the days tracking Orkney's wildlife - puffins 
       nesting on sea stacks, arctic terns swooping close enough 
       to feel their wings - and nights searching the sky for the
       Merry Dancers, Amy slowly makes the journey towards 
       recovery from addiction. The Outrun is a beautiful, 
       inspiring book about living on the edge, about the pull 
       between island and city, and about the ability of the sea,
       the land, the wind and the moon to restore life and renew 
       hope
