An island without a harbour, encircled by perilous cliffs and rising high above the wild Atlantic ocean, farmed by the same family for eight generations. What is it like to live at the edge of the world? In this marvel of quiet reflection and keen observation, Tim Ecott takes the reader to Stóra Dímun – an isolated island farm in the Faroe Islands with only two permanent residents. He finds a remarkable way of living; one where you’re isolated but never truly alone, surrounded by remarkable wildlife and an ever-changing landscape. On the island, every day is spent breathing fresh air, managing your livestock and continuing the work begun by your forebears hundreds of years ago. Here, time blurs – technology may encroach, but traditions are engrained.
