Sal

By: Mick Kitson

Just *wonderful*. A breath of fresh air in a book. Sal is a story with incredible heart, told so beautifully and with such clarity and grace I can hardly believe it's a debut! I loved it' JOANNA CANNON, author of THE TROUBLE WITH GOATS AND SHEEP AN OBSERVER 'NEW FACE OF FICTION 2018' This is a story of something like survival. Sal planned it for almost a year before they ran. She nicked an Ordnance Survey map from the school library. She bought a compass, a Bear Grylls knife, waterproofs and a first aid kit from Amazon using stolen credit cards. She read the SAS Survival Handbook and watched loads of YouTube videos. And now Sal knows a lot of stuff. Like how to build a shelter and start a fire. How to estimate distances, snare rabbits and shoot an airgun. And how to protect her sister, Peppa. Because Peppa is ten, which is how old Sal was when Robert started on her. Told in Sal's distinctive voice, and filled with the silent, dizzying beauty of rural Scotland, Sal is a disturbing, uplifting story of survival, of the kindness of strangers, and the irrepressible power of sisterly love; a love that can lead us to do extraordinary and unimaginable things.

Emotion, Place and Culture

By: Mick Smith,Liz Bondi

Recent years have witnessed a rapid rise in engagement with emotion and affect across a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, with geographers among others making a significant contribution by examining the emotional intersections between people and places. Building on the achievements of Emotional Geographies (2005), the editors have brought together leading scholars such as Nigel Thrift, Alphonso Lingis and Frances Dyson as well as young, up and coming academics from a diverse range of disciplines to investigate feelings and affect in various spatial and social contexts, environments and landscapes. The book is divided into five sections covering the themes of remembering, understanding, mourning, belonging, and enchanting.

Sal

By: Mick Kitson

Hoe ver gaan we om de mensen van wie we houden te beschermen, zelfs als we daarvoor de wet moeten overtreden? Bijna een jaar lang bereidt Sal hun vlucht voor. Ze steelt een landkaart uit de schoolbibliotheek. Met gestolen creditcards koopt ze een kompas, een Bear Grylls-mes, regenjassen en een ehbo-set. Ze leest het sas survival handboek en bekijkt tientallen YouTube-filmpjes. En nu weet ze alles. Hoe je een schuilplaats bouwt en vuur maakt. Hoe je afstanden inschat, konijnen vilt en met een luchtbuks schiet. Maar vooral hoe ze haar zusje Peppa kan beschermen. Peppa is tien jaar, even oud als Sal was toen hun stiefvader haar ging misbruiken. Sal heeft het allemaal uitgedacht: de perfecte moord en de perfecte ontsnapping naar een perfecte wildernis. Maar overleven in de barre Schotse natuur blijkt minder gemakkelijk dan gedacht wanneer de winter strenger wordt en een pijnlijke infectie van Peppa behandeld moet worden. Terwijl de eenzaamheid en de angst om ontdekt te worden steeds meer toenemen, komen helikopters boven hun schuilplaats cirkelen. Deze meeslepende roman dwingt ons na te denken over schuld en slachtofferschap. Met Sals nuchtere vertelstem en de stille, duizelingwekkende schoonheid van de Schotse wildernis, is Sal een verontrustend maar hoopgevend verhaal over overleven, de goedheid van vreemden en de kracht van zusterliefde; een liefde die ons tot buitengewone en onvoorstelbare daden kan aanzetten.
