“A remarkable piece of writing. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book as open-hearted as this. It resists easy pieties of nature as a healing force, but nevertheless charts a recovery which could never have been achieved without landscape, wild creatures & “thin places”. It is also flocked with luminous details (moths, birds, feathers, skulls, moving water). Kerri’s voice is utterly her own, rich & strange. I’ve folded down the corners of many pages, marking sentences & moments that glitter out at me. Wow” — Robert Macfarlane

‘Beautiful’ — Amy Liptrot

‘Powerful, unflinching … Part hymn to nature, part Troubles memoir’ — Guardian

A breathtaking mix of memoir, nature writing & history: this is Kerri ní Dochartaigh’s story of a wild Ireland, an invisible border, an old conflict & the healing power of the natural world

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING – HIGHLY COMMENDED

°°° 

Kerri ní Dochartaigh was born in Derry at the very height of the Troubles. One parent was Catholic, the other Protestant. In the space of a year Kerri’s family were forced out of two homes & when she was eleven a homemade petrol bomb was thrown through her bedroom window. For families like hers, terror was in the very fabric of the city.

In Thin Places, Kerri explores how nature kept her sane & helped her heal, & how we are again allowing our borders to become hard & terror to creep back in. Kerri asks us to reclaim & rejoice in our landscape, & to remember that the land we fight over is much more than lines on a map.

°°° 

Kerri ní Dochartaigh’s 1st book, Thin Places, was published in Spring 2021, for which she was awarded the Butler Literary Award 2022, & highly commended for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing 2021. Cacophony of Bone is her 2nd book. 

She has written for the Guardian, Irish Times, BBC, Winter Papers, etc.  She lives in the west of Ireland with her family.
