Beskrivelse
A captivating exploration of life along the rugged Danish coastline, told through the eyes of renowned writer Dorthe Nors. This book offers a vivid portrayal of the wild North Sea coast, rich with history and personal memories.
An intimate journey through the windswept shores stretching from Denmark’s northern tip to the Netherlands.
Shortlisted for both the 2023 Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing and the James Tait Black Prize for Biography, this moving narrative captures the essence of a coastline shaped by shipwrecks, storm surges, and resilient communities. Dorthe Nors, an award-winning author, invites readers to experience the landscape where her family has lived for generations and which she now calls home.
Through her spellbinding prose, Nors weaves together the history of the region with her own personal reflections, creating a powerful and beautiful story of place and memory. The book reveals a world inhabited by cold-water surfers and steadfast sailors' wives, a place alive with the energy of storms and the blinking of distant lighthouses.
Praised as "a beautiful, melancholy account of finding home on a restless coast" by Katherine May, author of Wintering, and described as "fascinating" by the Financial Times, this work offers a deeply engaging look at a landscape brimming with memories and mystery.
