'Fascinating' - Robert Macfarlane, author of The Old Ways 'Truly a
thing of wonder' - Kerri ni Dochartaigh, author of Thin Places
'Lyrical [and] thoughtful' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of
Abandonment Visiting Iceland as an anthropologist and film-maker in
2008, Sarah Thomas is spellbound by its otherworldly landscape. An
immediate love for this country and for Bjarni, a man she meets
there, turns a week-long stay into a transformative half-decade,
one which radically alters Sarah's understanding of herself and of
the living world. She embarks on a relationship not only with
Bjarni, but with the light, the language, and the old wooden house
they make their home. She finds a place where the light of the
midwinter full moon reflected by snow can be brighter than
daylight, where the earth can tremor at any time, and where the
word for echo - bergmal - translates as 'the language of the
mountain'. In the midst of crisis both personal and planetary, as
her marriage falls apart, Sarah finds inspiration in the artistry
of a raven's nest: a home which persists through breaking and
reweaving - over and over. Written in beautifully vivid prose The
Raven's Nest is a profoundly moving meditation on place, identity
and how we might live in an era of environmental disruption.
