WAYWARD: JUST ANOTHER LIFE TO LIVE (HB)

The captivating memoir of folk musician Vashti Bunyan who gave up everything in 1968 to make her way - by foot and horse drawn wagon - from London to the Outer Hebrides, before settling in Edinburgh. This is an odyssey of discovery and heartbreak, full of the joy of freedom and the trudge of everyday reality, sleeping in the woods, fighting freezing winters and homelessness. She rewrites one of the great hippie myths of the 1960s, the narrative of a barefoot girl on the road to describe a life lived at full tilt, revealing what it means to change course and her emotional struggle, learning to take back control of her own life.
