In April 1931, a youngEnglish sailor was sitting in a cafe in London, attempting to persuade adocumentary film-maker that she was the perfect assistant for a stint offilming on a remote Shetland islet. Joan Grigsby was the applicant, withboat-handling skills and sterling practical capacities. Jenny Brown (laterGilbertson) was the film-maker, beginning her first shoot in a belovedlocation. Grigsby got the jobAn Island Rooing documents not only this brief early summer stay onthe Isle of Stenness, but also Grigsbys further solo adventures right throughthe season: staying with a crofting family in Heylor, and sampling the periodof calling the sheep in from the hills, lambing, removal of their fleeces byhand (the rooing of the title); setting the tatties for the new crop, andhearing many stories around the fire at night about Shetland history and majorevents, including several tragic accounts of shipwreck; heading to Lerwick toexplore the knitwear and fishing industries, including first-hand experience ofbeing part of the crew of a drifter seeking their next big catch; befriendingthe gutting women onshore and learning that deceptively difficult skill.Grigsbys style isfluent, adventuresome and direct, both in terms of how she treats the world,and how she writes.
