Book excerpt: A beautiful and bestselling meditation on the meaning of home Winner of the Hawthornden Prize Shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year One winter, after an enforced period of quiet, William Fiennes finds himself restless and yearning for adventure. Inspired by his reading about the migratory patterns of birds, he flies to Texas to find the million-strong flocks of snow geese and to follow them on their spring flight thousands of miles north to breeding grounds on the Arctic tundra.
