Shortlisted for the PEN Ackerley Prize 2018. This is a memoir of
intense physical and personal experience, exploring how swimming
with seals, gulls and orcas in the cold waters off Orkney provided
Victoria Whitworth with an escape from a series of life crises and
helped her to deal with intolerable loss. It is also a treasure
chest of history and myth, local folklore and archaeological clues,
giving us tantalising glimpses of Pictish and Viking men and women,
those people lost to history, whose long-hidden secrets are
sometimes yielded up by the land and sea.
