À propos de la quatrième de couverture

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."
OBSERVER

An 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'
