About this product
Product Information
When Amy Liptrot returns to Orkney after more than a decade away, she is drawn back to the Outrun on the sheep farm where she grew up. Approaching the land that was once home, memories of her childhood merge with the recent events that have set her on this journey. Amy was shaped by the cycle of the seasons, birth and death on the farm, and her father's mental illness, which were as much a part of her childhood as the wild, carefree existence on Orkney. But as she grew up, she longed to leave this remote life. She moved to London and found herself in a hedonistic cycle. Unable to control her drinking, alcohol gradually took over. Now thirty, she finds herself washed up back home on Orkney, standing unstable at the cliff edge, trying to come to terms with what happened to her in London. Spending early mornings swimming in the bracingly cold sea, the days tracking Orkney's wildlife--puffins nesting on sea stacks, arctic terns swooping close enough to feel their wings--and nights searching the sky for the Merry Dancers, Amy slowly makes the journey toward recovery from addiction. The Outrun is a beautiful, inspiring book about living on the edge, about the pull between island and city, and about the ability of the sea, the land, the wind, and the moon to restore life and renew hope.

Reviews
A lyrical, brave memoir... [Liptrot] walks the hills and dances between the standing stones of Stenness; she joins a wild swimming club and, hauling herself from the gelid waters, 'naked on the beach, I am a selkie slipped from its skin.' It's this aptitude Liptrot has for marrying her inner-space with wild outer-spaces that makes her such a compelling writer--and one to watch., Uncompromising and lyrical...Liptrot's writing is strong and sure... The Outrun is a bright addition to the exploding genre of writing about place and our place in the natural world., The Outrun is an astonishingly beautiful book... Her account of her addiction and recovery is electric, sexy, immediate, and raw, leaving the reader reeling in her wake. And yet she's also elegant, thoughtful, and controlled... A luminous, life-affirming book, and I have no doubt that I'll be pressing it into people's hands for years to come., Liptrot is an Orcadian warrior with the breeze in her blood and poetry in her fingers, and The Outrun equals works by fellow islanders such as George Mackay Brown and Peter Maxwell Davies. It may even be a future classic. Wherever she journeys next, you will want to go with her., Contains unflinching interrogation of [Liptrot's] self-destructive impulses, but also sharp observations about the metaphysical qualities of her surroundings. . . . The Outrun is slow and lyrical, transitioning from the rush of drinking into the raw sensations of island life.

This is the moving story of a Dutch American horseman, who rescues an old plough horse from the slaughter house. Originally, just bought as a mount for a riding stable the horse is sold but makes his way back to Harry Deleyer's stable by jumping fences. Deleyer realizes this horse wants to soar so he trains him and the horse climbs the ranks of show jumping competitions to become a Champion. Fascinating story with good narrative. Great DVD, arrived in good time. Thankyou.

This is a great film noir from the 1940s, with one of the best actors of this genre, Dan Duryea. Keeps you guessing, and an unusual ending. The DVD itself has a great cover with a femme fatale as well as Duryea. I highly recommend this DVD. The acting is exceptional and all the sets and black and white photography really add to the sense of mystery. Thanks, to this seller.
