Susan Smillie

Author

Susan Smillie is a British journalist and author whose writing explores the intersection of nature, freedom, and the search for a different way of living. She has written for The Guardian and other publications. The Half Bird is a memoir about Smillie's decision to leave conventional life behind and live on a boat in the Mediterranean,... sailing the coastlines of Europe in search of wildness, solitude, and a connection to the natural world that modern life had denied her. The book is both a sea voyage and an inner journey. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a beautiful, contemplative memoir. Smillie's work appeals to fans of nature writing, sailing memoirs, and anyone who has ever dreamed of leaving everything behind and setting sail toward something truer. Read more Show less
