The Shetland Way - Rediscovering Roots During Climate Crisis (Hardcover)

An essential, urgent book by the environmental journalist Marianne Brown, to publish at a time of accelerated climate crisis. When Marianne Brown arrived in Voe, Shetland, to attend the funeral of her father, she had packed enough clothes to last a week. But this was March 2020, and she would be unable to leave for another six months. Shetland is a place bound together by community, history and folklore. But when a huge windfarm is greenlit to mainly serve the mainland, it creates rifts between neighbours, friends and even families. One side support the benefit to a planet spiralling into climate disaster; the other challenge the impact on an environment with an already struggling wildlife population. As an environmental journalist, Marianne is drawn to investigate this story of sustainable power that is irrevocably tied to her grief. But nothing is ever straightforward, and she soon finds herself embroiled in a story of betrayal, power and politics that mirrors global concerns about how we save the planet.
