Returning to Orkney – to the place Amy wrote about so vividly in The OutrunThe Tangles is a book about the joys and challenges of moving to a small island with her family. It is a book about memory, childhood, grief and what it means to feel at home somewhere. Threaded through the book is a quest, a fascination Amy develops for this strange, slippery algae known as seaweed.
