About the Book

WINNER OF THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2016 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WELLCOME PRIZE 2017 At the age of 30, Amy Liptrot finds herself washed up back home on Orkney. Standing unstable on the island, she tries to come to terms with the addiction that has swallowed the last decade of her life. As she spends her mornings swimming in the bracingly cold sea, her days tracking Orkney's wildlife, and her nights searching the sky for the Merry Dancers, Amy discovers how the wild can restore life and renew hope.

About the Author :
Amy Liptrot has published her work with various magazines, journals and blogs and she has written a regular column for Caught by the River out of which The Outrun emerged. As well as writing for major newspapers including the Guardian and the Observer, Amy has worked as an artist's model, a trampolinist and in a shellfish factory. The Outrun was awarded the 2016 Wainwright Prize and the 2017 PEN Ackerley Prize and was shortlisted for the 2016 Wellcome Prize and the 2017 Ondaatje Prize, and was a Sunday Times bestseller. Tracy Wiles is a British actress who graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with the James Bridie Gold Medal. Tracy’s television and film credits include Top Boy (2019), Shetland (2019), Manhunt (2019), Intrigo: Samaria (2019) and Wild Rose (2018). She has also lent her voice to various videogames including Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire (2018) and Divinity: Original Sin II (2017).

Review :
‘Liptrot has lived her life on the edge of things, literally and metaphorically. Her beautiful book gives a wonderfully evocative account of both, blending searing memoir with sublime nature writing.’ ‘Will no doubt sit alongside Richard Mabey’s Nature Cure and Helen Macdonald’s H is for Hawk – the sheer sensuality of Liptrot’s prose and her steely resolve put her right up there with the best of the best.’
