Trade ReviewA fine book… Transparent, undeceived prose -- Kate Kellaway * Guardian *
Compelling … well-contextualised, sharply-observed, clued up, environmentally aware and deeply researched * Independent *
With clarity and candour, in the natural voice of a modern storyteller, she tells what she sees at the intersection of herself and whatever is delivered to her by the tide * The Times *
Sprackland has a wonderfully curious eye * Financial Times *
Simply gorgeous ... One of the finest piece of writing, nature or otherwise, to emerge this year * Big Issue *
