'Fascinating. Elemental. Extraordinary' ANNIE MACMANUS

One bright autumn morning while swimming off the east coast of England, Amy Liptrot’s fingers wrap around some fresh fronds of kelp. So begins her encounter with seaweed, one that becomes a quest to understand this magnificent life form. Following her curiosity for this undersea world - and determined not to lose her appetite for adventure even with two small children in tow - she moves north to the remote island of Papay, Orkney. There in the depths of winter her young boys come to experience the island life where she grew up, and as spring comes around they spend more time with their elderly grandfather.

With her adventure-hungry, lyrical and wind-swept style, Amy records how her family grows and recedes in its new coastal nook. Blending ecology, history and memoir, The Tangles chronicles how paying closer attention to the world around her changes the way Amy moves through the tangles of her own life.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"An extraordinary exploration of one of natures most overlooked treasures, seaweed, and all the things it provides. A thrilling and fascinating read, in which everything is elemental and everything is adventure" (ANNIE MACMANUS)
"A raw and redemptive account of Amy Liptrot’s return to Orkney. As wind-battered winter turns to tentative spring we shadow her journey through grief - through dark forests of kelp and into the sun-spangled shallows. She has a searing honesty and a keen eye for natural beauty" (CAL FLYNN)
"What a joy to plunge into The Tangles - not just into the slippery, little understood, endlessly mesmerising world of seaweed, but into the life of a woman, "moored by a healthy obsession", as she navigates love and loss and the routines of small children amid the battering of sea and wind. To bathe in gorgeous prose and learn so much at the same time is bliss" (SALLY MAGNUSSON)
"The Tangles was both soothing and fierce, much like the sea itself. I loved the symmetry between the tangles of seaweed and the tangles of midlife—how so many of us are woven between so many responsibilities, knitting many different things together. Truly beautiful nature writing, led by a sense of warmth, curiosity, and the personal. Also enjoyably full of new facts that made me want to say “did you know?” out loud to whoever was in the room while reading it. Side note: it also made me want to finish the book while taking a seaweed bath" (EMMA GANNON)
"The Tangles is the third in Amy Liptrot’s beautiful and intimate trilogy of travelling through life with a deep bond to the more-than-human world. Her writing is alight with all the life force of seaweed itself and brilliantly illustrates how a dedication to curiosity can be a steadying force" (SALLY HUBAND)
"The Tangles is an intimate, affectionate dive into the intricacies of seaweed, the world beneath the waves, all tied into a tale of the ways of Orkney. Always engaging and honest in tone, The Tangles is a touching triumph" (JAMES CANTON)
"This book gave me the most magical, hypnagogic dreams. Amy Liptrot is one of our finest memoirists, her prose glimmers on the page. Melancholic, poetic and enchanting, drifting through seaweed and kelp forests, The Tangles reveals the enduring parental ties that survive, and renew, in the unexpected face of grief" (ADELLE STRIPE)
"Praise for Amy Liptrot: [The Outrun is] an astonishingly beautiful book. Amy makes most nature writing seem flat and pedestrian. Her account of her addiction and recovery is electric, sexy, immediate and raw, leaving the reader reeling in her wake . . . This is a luminous, life-affirming book, and I have no doubt that I'll be pressing it into people's hands for years to come" (OLIVIA LAING)
"[The Instant is] a wild, wind-lashed book, and you come away from reading with the taste of salt spray on your lips" (EVIE WILD)
