Marianne Brown's debut memoir, The Shetland Way, explores her complex relationship with her father and the island, highlighting the intersection of personal and environmental histories.
The connection to Shetland deepened during the lockdown as Brown confronted familial history amid the rapidly changing landscape marked by new energy initiatives and local opposition.
Despite the island's recent oil wealth, islanders acknowledge the finite nature of fossil fuels and are increasingly focusing on sustainable energy solutions like wind.
Brown's narrative resonates with themes of loss, heritage, and community, set against the backdrop of Shetland's unique geography and evolving cultural landscape.
