Description
The Shetland Way: A Memoir and Investigation into Loss, Community, and the Climate Crisis
Marianne Brown's poignant and profound exploration of the Shetland Islands delves into the complexities of loss, community, and the climate crisis. When she arrived in Voe, Shetland, to attend her father's funeral, she was forced to stay for six months due to the COVID-19 lockdown. This unexpected stay brought her face-to-face with a challenging debate about how to save the planet.
The Shetland Way offers a unique insight into a place where community, history, and culture are deeply intertwined. As a huge windfarm is greenlit to export energy to mainland Scotland, it sparks divisions among neighbours, friends, and families. Brown's story is a nuanced exploration of how we can balance our needs with the needs of the natural world, and how we can begin to understand the complexities of climate change.
