RETURNING LIGHT: 30 YEARS OF LIFE ON SKELLIG MICHAEL (PB)

In 1987 Robert Harris happened upon an unusual job advert. A new warden service was being set up on Skellig Michael, one of Ireland’s most remote locations. Every May for the next 30 years he would make the journey to this otherworldly island - habitable only for five months of the year – where solitude can quickly become isolation. This is an extraordinary memoir about the profound effect a place can have on us, and how a remote location can bring with it a great sense of belonging.
