Sarah Thomas

Sarah’s debut memoir set in Iceland, The Raven’s Nest, was published by Atlantic Books in July 2022.

“A deeply thoughtful, vivid, enquiring, genre-traversing book, closely attentive to the people and the landscapes with which it dwells. It asks hard questions – and offers no easy answers – about what it means to belong to a place, and to live well upon a part of the earth. Sarah’s writing draws readers northwards and inwards upon a fascinating journey” – Robert Macfarlane
