The Place of Tides

The Place of Tides

by James Rebanks

2025

In this profound memoir, James Rebanks recounts an unforgettable summer spent with an elderly woman on a remote Norwegian island, a solitary figure dedicated to the ancient art of collecting eiderdown. As he immerses himself in her demanding, rhythmically dictated life, Rebanks finds his own journey of escape transforms into a powerful exploration of forgiveness and self-discovery. This is a moving testament to the wisdom found in isolation and the enduring connection between humans and the natural world.
