Wishing to leave the quiet isolation of her Orkney island life, Amy Liptrot books a one-way flight to Berlin. Searching for new experiences, inspiration and love, she rents a shared flat, explores the streets, nightclubs and parks, and seeks out the city's wildlife – goshawks, raccoons and hooded crows. She hopes for the unexpected – and it comes with an erotic jolt, in the form of a love affair that obsesses her. Taking an unapologetic look at the addictive power of love and lust, an exploration of the cycles of the moon, the flight paths of migratory birds, the mesmerising power of Neolithic stonework and the trails followed by a generation that exists online, she talks to writer and broadcaster Horatio Clare.
