Jamie is a poet, which shows in her meticulous use of words in these essays about her native Scotland. She calls herself a listener and I'd add, an observer, paying concentrated attention to the minutiae of the natural world, from peregrines maybe nesting near her home to bones on a Hebridean beach. Never overtly philosophical she nevertheless manages with a luminous light touch to open our eyes to meanings we would otherwise have missed. A lovely book!
