A powerful journey of sea and self, trial and hope on the islands of Shetland
On the storm-tossed beaches of the Shetland Archipelago, Sally Huband is searching. A message in a bottle, a mermaid's purse, a lobster trap tag, each find connects her more deeply with our oceans. But it is Sally's quest for a fabled sea bean that unlocks the myths of these islands and carries her through chronic illness towards a new and more resilient self.
