On release week of film The Outrun starring Saoirse Ronan, I spoke to best selling author Amy Liptrot, who wrote the book the film is based on.

‍

When Amy found herself in rehab for alcoholism aged 30, she left London behind and returned to her family’s farm on Orkney, a remote Island off the coast of Scotland. Overcoming addiction on an isolated island, Amy found solace in the wild landscapes that she’d grown up in. Her outstanding memoir ‘The Outrun’ is an account of these experiences which has accrued Amy legions of fans.

‍

Amy and I talked about growing up in the elements, the path of addiction, getting sober, different kinds of loneliness, the healing power of nature, the definition of home, our perspectives on faith and a higher power, and SEAWEED! This was an illuminating and far reaching conversation, one that I will treasure. Let me know how you go with it , thanks guys xx
