'Beautiful, meditative memoir.' – Sunday Express
From the southern tip of Barra to the ancient stone circle of Callanish, Leonie Charlton and her friend Shuna ride off the beaten track on their beloved Highland ponies, Ross and Chief. In deeply poetic prose, in Marram Leonie not only describes the beauties of the Hebridean landscape, its spare, penetrating light and its people, but also confronts the ghost of her mother and their fractured relationship.
