"A beautiful book... full of intense light and colour, extraordinary glimpses, moving insights and subtle humour" – Richard Kerridge, author of Cold Blood
As the summer draws to a close, a few snow beds – some as big as icebergs – survive in the Scottish Highlands. Christopher Nicholson celebrates these great, icy relics through a personal meditation on their significance, exploring what these remarkable natural phenomena mean in our changing world.
A book full of vivid descriptions and anecdotes, Among the Summer Snows explores the meanings of nature, beauty and mortality in the twenty-first century. "Beautiful writing that transcends form to arrive somewhere improbable and compelling" – Paul Evans, Guardian
