Böcker av Anne-Marie Fyfe

No Far Shore is no ordinary exploration of coastlines. Fyfe combines travel writing, history, memoir and poetry in an intriguing meditation on the sea, the land, and the maps, lighthouses, islands, north, maps, journeys and other things which mark them. In the process, Fyfe also journeys into her past, and her family's, and the sea's effect on it.
