SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING
I absolutely adored this book! Raynor Winn, the author of "The Salt Path," has crafted a truly captivating tale. Utterly absorbing, Lucy Jones, the author of "Losing Eden," has penned a novel that left me yearning for more.
Wishing to escape the peaceful isolation of her Orkney island life, Amy Liptrot embarks on a one-way flight to Berlin. Seeking new experiences, inspiration, and love, she rents a loft bed in a shared flat and begins her search for employment.
Exploring the streets, nightclubs, and parks, she eagerly seeks out the city's wildlife—goshawks, raccoons, and hooded crows. In her quest for love, she turns to the screen of her laptop.
Over the course of a year, Amy creates space, eagerly anticipating the unexpected. And it arrives in the form of an erotic jolt, in the form of a love affair that consumes her entirely.
"The Instant" is an unapologetic exploration of the addictive power of love and lust. It delves into the cycles of the moon, the flight paths of migratory birds, the mesmerizing beauty of Neolithic stonework, and the trails left behind by a generation that exists online.
Each chapter of this book is a testament to the author's exceptional writing skills, transporting readers to a world where nature, love, and the human experience intertwine in profound and captivating ways. I highly recommend "The Instant" to anyone who appreciates nature writing and is seeking a novel that will leave a lasting impression.
