The Instant by Amy Liptrot

emotional hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

The Instant by Amy Liptrot is an evocative memoir of the author’s move from Orkney to Berlin, in search of experiences and love.  She charts cycles of the moon and and patterns of migratory birds, connecting nature’s ancient rhythms to her own understanding of heritage and self.  She also considers virtual footprints and how we connect online authentically - her heartache and longing are so raw and poignantly written.  It’s a strange little book but I love its intensity and the author’s perceptiveness.
