The Shetland Islands: The last, northernmost outpost of the UK. Tom Morton has lived there for 30 years, running the shop Last Books from his house in the village of Quidawick, and occasionally working as a crofter, journalist, broadcaster, whisky taster, tourism development officer, dogwalker, dogsbody and funeral celebrant. In Shetland is Tom’s story of what it’s like to turn - some would say run - away from ‘civilisation’ and learn to live in one of the most remote corners of the British Isles. The book will take you beneath the surface of Shetland life, into a community which is full of fascinating characters, incredible wildlife, hilarity, tragedy, pigs, sheep, hens, bannocks and a lot of extreme weather. It’s a book about the love of books, and the love of a very special place which has become home. It’s about being In Shetland.
