SHETLAND (ANN CLEEVES)

In a gloriously illustrated companion to her novels, crime writer Ann Cleeves journeys through a year on Shetland, learning about its past, meeting its people, celebrating its festivals and seeing how the archipelago changes with the seasons. From the drama of the Up Helly Aa fire festival in winter, to the piercing colours of spring flowers on the clifftops, the long white nights of midsummer and the fierce gales and high tides of autumn, Shetland is vividly captured in all its bleak and special beauty.
