THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Memoir of the year' - Vogue 'A wondrous  sensuous memoir of

Daily Mail When Tamsin Calidas first arrives on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides  it
feels like coming home. Disenchanted by London  she and her husband left the city and
high-flying careers to move the 500 miles north  despite having absolutely no experience of
crofting  or of island life. It was idyllic  for a while. But as the months wear on  the
children she'd longed for fail to materialise  and her marriage breaks down  Tamsin finds
herself in ever-increasing isolation. Injured  ill  without money or friend she is pared right
back  stripped to becoming simply a raw element of the often harsh landscape. But with that
immersion in her surroundings comes the possibility of rebirth and renewal. Tamsin begins the
slow journey back from the brink. Startling  raw and extremely moving  I Am An Island is a
story about the incredible ability of the natural world to provide when everything else has
fallen away - a stunning book about solitude  friendship  resilience and self-discovery.
