Author: Francis, Gavin

Publication Date: 02/23/2021

Picked as 'one to watch' in the Observer and New Statesman. As an award-winning and bestselling author, Francis is well-known for his medical writing. In Island Dreams, he breaks new ground and offers a free-form reflection blending memoir and nature writing. It will appeal to fans of Rebecca Solnit's A Field Guide to Getting Lost, Robert Macfarlane's Mountains of the Mind, Kathleen Jamie's Findings, and Bruce Chatwin's The Songlines

In Island Dreams, Gavin Francis examines our collective fascination with islands. He blends stories of his own travels with psychology, philosophy, and great voyages from literature, shedding new light on the importance of islands and isolation in our collective consciousness.
