An Evening with James Rebanks
Join James Rebanks, the No.1 bestselling author of The Shepherd’s Life, for a special evening celebrating his magical new book, The Place of Tides.
James has captivated readers worldwide with his award-winning writing, which not only chronicles the beauty and challenges of rural life, but also celebrates the timeless connection between land and people.
In The Place of Tides, James takes us to a unique and ancient landscape, sharing an inspiring story of friendship, history and redemption. We hear how he journeyed to a remote Norwegian island on the edge of the Arctic, where he encountered a centuries-old way of life in danger of dying out – and the extraordinary elderly woman who worked tirelessly to preserve it.
This is a story of what it means to have roots, and what happens when you find them. It shows us how, as the seasons turn from the rough, isolated toil of bitter winter to endless summer light, what begins as a voyage of escape becomes something else entirely.
Take the opportunity to hear James's incredible story, ask your own questions, and discover the meaning of a life spent shaping and being shaped by the land we live on.
