It is a land ruled by great elemental forces light, wind and water that hold sway over how land forms, where the sea sits and what grows. <em>Windswept</em> explores what it means to live in this rugged, awe-inspiring place of unquenchable spirit and wild weather.</p><p>Walk with Annie as she lays quartz stones in the river to reflect the moonlight and attract salmon, as she watches otters play tag across the beach, as she is awoken by the feral bellowing of stags. Travel back in time to the epic story of how Scotlands valleys were carved by glaciers, rivers scythed paths through mountains, how the earliest people found a way of life in the Highlands and how she then found a home there millennia later.</p><p>With stunning imagery and lyrical prose, <em>Windswept</em> evokes a place where nature reigns supreme and humans must learn to adapt. It is her paean to a beloved place, one richer with colour, sound and life than perhaps anywhere else in the UK.</p><p>Annie Worsleys Windswept is a top-tier memoir that intertwines personal narratives with the history of Britains ecosystems. Her commitment to environmental conservation and habitat protection is evident throughout, making this autobiography a must-read for those interested in European non-fiction.</p><p>For fans of Raynor Winn (Landlines), Sharon Blackie (The Enchanted Life), John Lewis-Stempel (England), Will Millard (The Way of the Hermit), and John D Burns (Wild Winter).</p><p>HarperCollins 2023</p>...1196Windswept: Life, Nature and Deep Time in the Scottish Highlands385385https://www.gandhi.com.mx/life-at-red-river-croft/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/156295/287832d7-ec80-448e-9677-2f4eba7aa946.jpg?v=638331898550300000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20239780008278397_W3siaWQiOiJlNTY2ODgxNS03MjE0LTRmYjAtODAzMC0wODA3Yzg2YzI5OTkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM5MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MzkwLCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0xMi0wMVQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc0VsaWdpYmxlRm9yQ3JlZGl0VHJpYWwiOnRydWUsImNyZWRpdFB1cmNoYXNlUHJpY2UiOjF9XQ==9780008278397_<p><strong><em>Windswept</em> is a wonderful work, prose painted in bold, bright strokes like a Scottish Colourists canvas ROBERT MACFARLANE</strong></p><p><strong>An instant classic of British nature-writing <em>SUNDAY TELEGRAPH</em></strong></p><p>A few years ago, Annie Worsley traded a busy life in academia to take on a small-holding or croft on the west coast of Scotland.
