'Sharply observed, a finely written work, one to be savoured, turned over and over like a good whisky.' Sunday Times

20 years ago it happened to Adam Nicolson he inherited the Shiants, 3 lonely islands set in a dangerous sea 5 miles off Lewis; only a stone bothy for accommodation – and one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

A world of hermits and stories, of birds and boats, of fisherman and sheep, 'Sea Room' is these islands' story, written with passion and poetry – a celebration for us all of island life.
