I, my notebook, and my deep affection for the untamed and desolate have always defied the expectations placed upon me. This recurring pattern has become an instinctual part of my life. There exists a line that extends from the northernmost tip of Denmark to where the Wadden Sea meets Holland in the south-west. Dorthe Nors, one of Denmark's most celebrated writers, hails from this lineage, and for generations, her family has resided among the weathered trees and wind-ravaged beaches of the North Sea coast. After decades of living in cities, she embarks on a year-long journey, traversing the length of the coast, exploring the history and geography of the places she visits, and unraveling her intricate connection with the landscape that she calls home.
This captivating story unfolds amidst the tumultuous clashes between the inhabitants of these wild regions and the unpredictable forces of nature. It encompasses tales of shipwrecks and storm surges, of cold-water surfers, sun-kissed beach mothers, and resolute sailor's wives. Through her mesmerizing prose, Nors invites the reader on a captivating journey, traversing both history and memory—the landscapes of the past and her own personal recollections.
