A stunning love letter to life in Shetland and a wilder way of living by celebrated poet Jen Hadfield. 'This book has been my friend' - Amy Liptrot, bestselling author of The Outrun'I was transported' - KATHERINE MAY'A book as exhilarating as a dip in wild winter waters' - THE GUARDIAN'Deeply thoughtful and beautifully written' - SARAH MOSS'A bewitching book' - THE TELEGRAPH In her late twenties, poet Jen Hadfield moved to Shetland to make a new life. Here, in a rugged constellation of islands known for their isolation and drama, she found a place teeming with life, where rare seabirds blow in on Atlantic gales, an ancient language thrives, and a close-knit community is the beating heart of an entire world. In Storm Pegs, Hadfield transports us to the islands as a local, introducing us to the remote and beautiful archipelago where she has made her home, and shows us new ways of living at the edge.
