Samenvatting

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be given your own remote islands? Thirty years ago it happened to Adam Nicolson.



20 years ago it happened to Adam Nicolson he inherited the Shiants, 3 lonely islands set in a dangerous sea 5 miles off Lewis; only a stone bothy for accommodation – and one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

A world of hermits and stories, of birds and boats, of fisherman and sheep, 'Sea Room' is these islands' story, written with passion and poetry – a celebration for us all of island life.

"Exceptionally well done, beautiful written, personal yet panoramic."
OBSERVER

An extraordinarily outward-looking book…a truly passionate attention to detail…A love letter no one else could hope to write so well."
NOEL MALCOLM, 'Sunday Telegraph'

Generous, exuberant and a vividly written narrative…history, travel writing and memoir of the best sort."
DAVID CRANE, 'Spectator'

"Sharply observed, a finely written work, one to be savoured, turned over and over like a good whisky."
ANTHONY SATTIN, 'Sunday Times'



Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be given your own remote islands? Thirty years ago it happened to Adam Nicolson.

Aged 21, Nicolson inherited the Shiants, three lonely Hebridean islands set in a dangerous sea off the Isle of Lewis. With only a stone bothy for accommodation and half a million puffins for company, he found himself in charge of one of the most beautiful places on earth.

The story of the Shiants is a story of birds and boats, hermits and fishermen, witchcraft and catastrophe, and Nicolson expertly weaves these elements into his own tale of seclusion on the Shiants to create a stirring celebration of island life.
