Summary

Seven years after her mother's death, Leonie Charlton is still gripped by memories of their fraught relationship.

In May 2017, Leonie trekked through the Outer Hebrides in the company of a friend and their Highland Ponies in search of closure. When Leonie's pony has a serious accident, she begins to realise that finding peace with her mother is less important than letting go. Leonie Charlton blends travel and nature writing with intimate memoir in this beautifully written account of grief and acceptance.

Critic reviews

"Marram is a story about love - love for a string of windswept islands, for their people and wildlife, for a couple of shaggy ponies and for a lost and parent. With an affectionate eye for the smallest detail and an indulgent ear for the softest lament, Leonie Charlton does them all proud." (John Keay)

Marram

Lovely book, even better when you know the people and understand them. I hope you both go back one day and finish the journey.
