SEA BEAN (PB)

This memoir is a deeply moving, immersive journey of sea and self, trial and hope set on the storm-tossed beaches of the Shetland Archipelago. Writer and naturalist Sally Huband is searching. A message in a bottle, a mermaid's purse, a lobster trap tag, each find connects her more deeply with our oceans. But it is her quest for a fabled sea bean that unlocks the myths of these islands and carries her through chronic illness towards a new and more resilient self.
