A quietly profound book about an ancient way of life on a remote Norwegian island. Farmer and author James Rebanks travels to the edge of the Arctic to witness the final season of an old woman, Anna, who lives and works alone, caring for wild ducks and gathering their down. It is the story of her centuries-old trade and a unique landscape she brought back to life. What begins as a personal journey of escape for Rebanks becomes an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge, forgiveness, and the strength of interdependence.
