Sinopsis de SHEARWATER

Shearwater is sheer delight, a luminous portrait of a magical seabird which spans the watery globeDaily Mail.

Charming and impassioned ... a rich tribute to an extraordinary bird. Horatio Clare, author of A Single Swallow and Heavy Light.


A very personal mix of memoir and natural history from the author of Liquid Gold.

Ten weeks into its life, a Manx shearwater chick will emerge from its burrow and fly 8,000 miles from the west coast of the British Isles to the South Atlantic. It will be unlikely to touch land again for four years.

Part memoir, part homage to wilderness, Shearwater traces the authors 50-year obsession with one of natures supreme travellers. In the finest tradition of nature writing, Roger Morgan-Grenville, author of Liquid Gold - described by Mary Colwell (Curlew Moon) as a book that ignites joy and warmth - unpicks the science behind its incredible journey; and into the story of a year in the shearwaters life, he threads the inspirational influence of his Hebridean grandmother who instilled in him a love of wild places and wild animals.

Full of lightly-worn knowledge, acute human observation and self-deprecating humour, Shearwater brings to life a truly mysterious and charismatic bird.
