The Place of Tides by James Rebanks beach vacation then two years later resignedWe are all in need of lights to follow. One afternoon many years ago, James Rebanks met an old woman on a remote Norwegian island. She lived and worked alone on a tiny rocky outcrop, caring for wild Eider ducks and gathering their down.

Back at home, Rebanks couldn't stop thinking about the woman on the rocks.
