In 1984 Sister Agnes, an Anglican Fransciscan nun, went to live alone on the remote Shetland island of Fetlar, her days filled with constant prayer, hard work, and the rhythms of the sea. This classic book, illustrated with the author’s own line drawings, tells the story of the series of ‘divine coincidences’ which eventually brought her to the island. Above all, it shows how one woman gave herself to poverty and simplicity, and discovering the riches of Franciscan and Celtic spirituality allang the way.
