The Edge of Silence
Free with Audible trial · Amazon buyer protection
Neil Ansell's remarkable account chronicles five years spent in complete isolation in a remote Welsh cottage, accessible only by foot across wild moorland. With no electricity, telephone, or neighbours for miles, he immerses himself in the rhythms of nature and the changing seasons, finding companionship in the wildlife that surrounds him.
This is a beautifully observed meditation on solitude, self-sufficiency, and our relationship with the natural world. Ansell's lyrical prose captures the stark beauty of the landscape and the profound peace found in silence, whilst exploring what it means to truly disconnect from modern life. A compelling read for anyone drawn to wild places and the transformative power of wilderness living.
