Author James Rebanks discusses his new book, The Place of Tides. It was written following his bestseller The Shepherd’s Life, and the death of his father – a time when he was angry and troubled about his own relationships. He found a light to follow in the strangest of places – Anna, an old woman on a remote island in Norway who is protecting wild eider ducks as they come inland to nest. He hoped to learn from her toughness and independence – but as her story unfolded he gained an unexpected redemption.
