Abstract

In "The Place of Tides," James Rebanks recounts his experience working with a traditional "duck woman" on Norway's Vega Archipelago, preserving the ancient practice of caring for eider ducks. Rebanks reflects on the slow rhythms of life on the island, capturing the essence of a disappearing way of life. The narrative highlights the resilience and dedication of septuagenarian Anna Måsøy, who fought to maintain old traditions in a changing world. This soulful account offers a poignant glimpse into the challenges of preserving cultural heritage in the face of modernization. [Extracted from the article]
