The Sunday Times-bestselling book from the multi-award-winning author of The Outrun - on the ecology of love and heartbreak, the urban environment and the digital age
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING
Wishing to leave behind the isolation of her Orkney island life, Amy Liptrot books a one-way flight to Berlin. She rents a loftbed in a shared flat and starts to look for work - and for love - through the screen of her phone. The Instant tells of the momentous year that follows, encountering the city's wildlife in the most unexpected places, tracing the cycles of the moon, the flight paths of migratory birds and surrendering to the addictive power of love and lust.About the Author
