From his experiences as a rough sleeper in London in the early eighties to the wilds of Jura, Neil Ansell has woven a beautifully told memoir, and a meditation on belonging.
'His story is remarkable in the frankness of the telling and the moving complexity of the teller' The Times 'Written with real feeling and a dose of dark wisdom.' TLS
Neil Ansell lived for several years in the Simon Community in London, before finally finding a home in Wales. He now lives in the Scottish Highlands. His other books are Deep Country, The Last Wilderness and The Circling Sky.
