A mesmerising tale that will both captivate and devastate, 'Migrations' is a literary masterpiece that plumbs the depths of human resilience and our connection to the natural world. Charlotte McConaghy weaves an intricate tapestry of love, loss, and the indomitable spirit of survival.

At the heart of this gripping narrative is Franny Stone, a woman haunted by her past and driven by an inexplicable urge to follow the Arctic terns on their potentially final migration to Antarctica. As the world's wildlife populations dwindle at an alarming rate, Franny secures passage on one of the last vessels venturing into the treacherous southern waters.

As the ship sails further from civilisation, Franny's dark secrets begin to surface, forcing her to confront the true nature of her quest. Is she running towards something, or desperately trying to escape? The eccentric crew becomes entangled in her enigmatic past, adding layers of complexity to this already riveting tale.

McConaghy's prose is a testament to the raw beauty of our planet's wildest places, from the rugged Irish coast to the remote expanses of Greenland and the untamed wilderness of Australia. This poignant ode to endangered species and threatened habitats serves as a stark reminder of what we stand to lose.

Despite its unflinching portrayal of a world on the brink, 'Migrations' offers a glimmer of hope against insurmountable odds. It is a story that will resonate long after the final page, challenging readers to contemplate their own place in the delicate balance of nature.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
