Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"A masterful integration of sensitive fieldwork and analytical insight on an extraordinary landscape. Through a tender narrative of people's lives, Flora faithfully transmits a whole world of understanding and feeling. This book will challenge any reader's assumptions about the possible meanings of life and death, belonging and--especially--isolation."--Piers Vitebsky, author of Living without the Dead "With this rich ethnographic work, Flora clearly masters the art of finding a place for herself within a tightly knit social space and of hearing the unsaid, which allows for new and moving insights into feelings of loneliness and of relatedness--to people as well as landscapes."--Kirsten Hastrup, University of Copenhagen
