Cacophony of Bone

LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2023: NATURE AND TRAVEL When Kerri and her partner M moved to a small, remote railway cottage in the heart of Ireland they were looking for a home, somewhere to stay put. What followed was a year unlike any other. Cacophony of Bone maps the circle of that year – a journey from one place to another, field notes of a life – from one winter to the next. It is a telling of a changed life, in a changed world – and it is about all that does not change. All that which simply keeps on – living and breathing, nesting and dying – in spite of it all. This is an ode to a year, a place, and a love, that changed a life.
