      Longlisted for the Wainwright Prize, this lyrical and captivating meditation on nature, time and the meaning of home is the second book from the acclaimed author of Thin Places

      LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING
      A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2023: NATURE AND TRAVEL

      When Kerri and her partner M moved to a small, remote railway cottage in the heart of Ireland they were looking for a home, somewhere to stay put. What followed was a year unlike any other.

      Cacophony of Bone maps the circle of that year - a journey from one place to another, field notes of a life - from one winter to the next. It is a telling of a changed life, in a changed world - and it is about all that does not change. All that which simply keeps on - living and breathing, nesting and dying - in spite of it all.

      This is an ode to a year, a place, and a love, that changed a life.
