The Shetland Way : Community and Climate Crisis on My Father's Islands

The Shetland Way : Community and Climate Crisis on My Father's Islands

ā€˜Fascinating. Written with clarity and rooted in deep affection’ Observer

ā€˜A timely and balanced book that offers a unique insight into a debate whose relevance is only going to grow’ The Times

A memoir and investigation exploring loss, community and the climate crisis in the Shetland Islands by environmental journalist Marianne Brown.

ā€˜Elegant’ Sunday Telegraph
ā€˜Engrossing’ i News
ā€˜Moving’ The Shetland Times
ā€˜A remarkable and complex book about what makes us human’ George McGavin

When environmental journalist Marianne Brown arrived in Voe, Shetland, to attend the funeral of her father, she discovered a community on the frontline of the climate crisis.

The construction of a huge windfarm, greenlit to export energy to mainland Scotland, had created rifts – with one side supporting the environmental benefits, and the other opposing the impact on local wildlife.

The Shetland Way is an extraordinary investigation into this story – of sustainability, grief, and a debate that mirrors global concerns about how we save the planet.
