About this product
Product Information
Under the ravishing light of an Alaskan sky, objects are spilling from the thawing tundra linking a Yup'ik village to its hunter-gatherer past. In the shifting sand dunes of a Scottish shoreline, impressively preserved hearths and homes of Neolithic farmers are uncovered. In a grandmother's disordered mind, memories surface of a long-ago mining accident and a 'mither who was kind'. In this luminous new essay collection, acclaimed author Kathleen Jamie visits archeological sites and mines her own memories - of her grandparents, of youthful travels - to explore what surfaces and what reconnects us to our past. As always she looks to the natural world for her markers and guides. Most movingly, she considers, as her father dies and her children leave home, the surfacing of an older, less tethered sense of herself. Surfacing offers a profound sense of time passing and an antidote to all that is instant, ephemeral, unrooted.Product Identifiers

Compelling and talented writer.
Like the way Kathleen Jamie writes. Enjoyed 'Findings' and that inspired me to buy 'Surfacing'. Her style is other worldly, different somehow and very compelling. She writes as if she is visiting from another planet, observing what she sees from a distance without emotional baggage getting in the way, leaving the reader to observe her subjects with clarity and with a feeling of being there in the moment. An unusual and fascinating talent.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
