'A remarkable and complex book about what makes us human'
George McGavin



When environmental journalist Marianne Brown arrived in Voe, Shetland, to attend the funeral of her father, she discovered a community on the frontline of the climate crisis.


The construction of a huge windfarm, greenlit to export energy to mainland Scotland, had created rifts - with one side supporting the environmental benefits, and the other opposing the impact on local wildlife.


The Shetland Way is an extraordinary investigation into this story - of sustainability, grief, and a debate that mirrors global concerns about how we save the planet.
