James Rebanks
The Place of Tides
James Rebanks tells an inspiring story of friendship with an elderly woman, Anna, who worked tirelessly to preserve the centuries-old way of life of the ‘Duck Women,’ who gathered the precious down of the Eider duck. He stayed on a remote Norwegian island in the UNESCO listed Vega archipelago, and helped with Anna’s final season of collecting the down. James finds that as the seasons change, what starts as a voyage of escape, ends as a realisation that life is always shaped by the land we live on and the people we live with. This is a story of what it means to have roots, and what happens when you truly find them.
