The cut-throat world of urban India, a British road trip, a wild Scottish island and a remarkable life filled with global adventures…
The landscape is as much a lead character as the book’s author in this autobiography about collapse and redemption on a remote Hebridean Island. Disenchanted by London, Calidas and her husband left high-flying careers to move 500 miles north and start farming. At first it’s idyllic but as the children she’d longed for fail to materialise and her marriage breaks down, Calidas finds herself in ever-increasing isolation. This is a movingbook about solitude, friendship, resilience, and self-discovery.
This year got off to a very sad start when the nation’s hero, Captain Sir tom Moore, sadly passed away from Covid-19. It seemed a cruel twist of fate that this remarkable man who had raised our spirits as well as tens of millions of pounds for the NHS, was taken by the very virus that prompted him to do it. This book is full of wit, warmth, and wisdom that made Captain Tom so special and is a record of his reflections and guiding principles from a long life, well lived. The book will surely be a source of reassurance, hope, and encouragement for generations to come and see his legacy live on.
