About the Book

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERSHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING Wishing to leave behind the isolation of her Orkney island life, Amy Liptrot books a one-way flight to Berlin. She rents a loftbed in a shared flat and starts to look for work - and for love - through the screen of her phone. The Instant tells of the momentous year that follows, encountering the city's wildlife in the most unexpected places, tracing the cycles of the moon, the flight paths of migratory birds and surrendering to the addictive power of love and lust.

About the Author :

Review :
'I loved this book, such an intimate portrayal of emotional landscapes and the pull of the moon - it's one I'll return to often' - RAYNOR WINN

'Sensuous and full of promise' - Guardian

'A slim, luminous account of living and loving in Berlin, picking up where The Outrun left off' - Sunday Times

'Brilliant on the addictive bliss of romance . . . [The Instant is] a parable about the quicksands of internet dating, and a survivor's handbook 'for the heartsick'' - Telegraph

'Beautiful . . . brilliant . . . The truest thing I've read in a long time. It feels revelatory to read serious, thoughtful writing on the sorts of experiences that so rarely receive it. . . The Instant is the most elegant examination of the internet's distance pain I have ever read' - EVIE WYLD
