WINNER OF THE 2023 HIGHLAND BOOK PRIZE
A WATERSTONES NATURE AND TRAVEL BEST BOOK OF 2023
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT NATURE WRITING PRIZE 2023
'Modern, revealing and restorative, a coastal treasure' Amy Liptrot
'Like its talismanic title, Huband's voice is distinct and singular. A gorgeous reckoning with the sea, islands and mythology' Sinéad Gleeson
'A wild melding of body and landscape. A deep, immersive, storm-tossed read' Helen Jukes
'As vital and complex as the oceans themseleves' Joanna Pocock
A powerful journey of sea and self, trial and hope on the islands of Shetland
On the storm-tossed beaches of the Shetland Archipelago, Sally Huband is searching. A message in a bottle, a mermaid’s purse, a lobster trap tag, each find connects her more deeply with our oceans. But it is Sally’s quest for a fabled sea bean that unlocks the myths of these islands and carries her through chronic illness towards a new and more resilient self.
"A notable addition the canon of beachcombing literature . . . the inspiring story of a woman coming to terms with a life-changing medical condition by finding beauty and interest and wonder in the infinite variety of things she finds washed up along the shore" - Scotsman
"To write a message in a bottle, or a story for an imagined reader, both are labours of love, sent out without guarantee in the hope they might one day be found and read. I do hope Sally's message is found and read by many - I've no doubt they'll be better off for it" - Books From Scotland
"Huband's passion flows through the prose as she breathes life into this lesser-known pastime . . . Frank, learned and lyrical" - Books From Scotland
"Sally Huband is a very fine writer" - New Shetlander
