    Nigh-No-Place - Paperback - Jen Hadfield
    Jen Hadfield began this book on the hoof, travelling across Canada with an appetite for new landscapes. However, it is in Shetland that she becomes acutely aware of her own voice - her fluency and tongue-tiedness, repetition, hiatus and breath. Hadfield is also the author of 'Almanacs'.
