To read a Jamie essay is to be given a fresh lens through which to view the world.\" Amanda Bell, Irish Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnder the ravishing light of an Alaskan   sky, objects are spilling from the thawing tundra linking a Yup'ik village to   its hunter-gatherer past. In the shifting sand dunes of a Scottish shoreline,   impressively preserved hearths and homes of Neolithic farmers are uncovered.   In a grandmother's disordered mind, memories surface of a long-ago mining   accident and a 'mither who was kind'.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this luminous new essay collection, acclaimed   author Kathleen Jamie visits archeological sites and mines her own memories -   of her grandparents, of youthful travels - to explore what surfaces and what reconnects   us to our past. As always she looks to the natural world for her markers and   guides. Most movingly, she considers, as her father dies and her children   leave home, the surfacing of an older, less tethered sense of herself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSurfacing offers a profound sense   of time passing and an antidote to all that is instant, ephemeral, unrooted.","brand":"Jamie, Kathleen","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46544459792723,"sku":"9781908745811","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47248171172179,"sku":"XV81908745811","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/jamie-kathleen-kathleen-jamie-surfacing-2019-hardback-52728573067603.jpg?v=1698591035","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/surfacing-2","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
