Sea Room

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." OBSERVERAn 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'
