The Outrun

The book beautifully blends nature writing with memoir, and I wonder what inspired this dual narrative approach. Did the landscape serve as a healing space from the start?

The vivid imagery made me feel immersed in the landscape, but I also wondered if this was a way for the author to find solace during tough times. How did the environment influence her healing process?

The connection between nature and healing is powerful here. I'm curious whether the author saw her time in Orkney as a pivotal turning point or if it was a gradual realization.
