What you need to know before your trail
On the tiny island of Rokesby, Addie helps her mother run a women’s retreat. Dreaming daily of escape, she consoles herself by swimming in the ocean that surrounds them.
On the neighbouring island, joined to Rokesby by a bridge at low tide, Sol has sought refuge at a wind-swept prayer house, grieving both his mother’s death and his father’s devastating betrayal. Alone and anxious, he takes comfort in birdwatching, books and the sounds of the sea.
Introverts with turbulent pasts and wary hearts, Sol and Addie are both drawn to nature far more than to people – until they catch sight of one another in the wild. Can they break free from past lessons in love to risk a better future together?

Travel Guide
Norfolk
The places of Rokesby and Ora are fictional. Holy Island and the Farne Islands get nice mentions but aren’t part of the book.
The author says
“My first memories of bird watching are om the Norfolk Broads, where my family used to go for a week each Easter, staying on a boat, mooring in different broads each night.”
” I feel a particular connection with the Norfolk Broads, the place of so many happy childhood holidays afloat. We called the little island on Hickling Broad, ‘ Miss Turner’s Island’. though I see it is more properly known as Turner’s island. It always had a special but indefinable feeling about it and became one of the novel’s thin places.”
Emma Louise Turner
This lady was pioneering in her day. She took up bird photography in 1901, giving illustrated talks for the Royal Photographic Society, becoming a professional lecturer by 1908.
