"The Place of Tides" by James Rebanks
🌊 🌊 🌊
If you desire to be transported to a place of peace and tranquility, I urge you to pick up "The Place of Tides". In this beautiful work of nonfiction, our author travels to a remote island off the coast of Norway to share an aging woman`s last season engaged in the old practice of providing a nesting ground for eider ducks and gathering their down. As trust is built between them, his understanding of her world and the choices that led her to be one of the last "duck women" slowly unfurls. An utterly gorgeous book.
