Another beautifully written book by @herdyshepherd.bsky.social. A great relief from all the trumpishness, and a joy to read.

Finished... like all the best non-fiction, it's about so much more than its subject - it's made me think about legacy, loss and resilience and how individuals can make a difference to the world.
A wonderful book... even though it put a little dust in my eye...
Thank you @herdyshepherd.bsky.social

I just finished the Place of Tides by @herdyshepherd.bsky.social James Rebanks.
A beautiful read! I got a glimpse of the life of a “duck woman” and how remarkable people are just people.

Love The Place of Tides by James Rebanks @herdyshepherd.bsky.social On that topic, I recommend Roy Jacobson's novels about the hardships on the islands.

Just finished The Place of Tides by @herdyshepherd.bsky.social. It's a remarkable book. Deeply beautiful, sparse and timeless. Reminds me of Tove Jansson's The Summer Book. Definitely recommend.
