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.
