Beschreibung:
Merryn Glover was born in a former Rana palace in Kathmandu and grew up in Nepal, India and Pakistan. Her first major work was a stage play, The Long Way Home, which was broadcast on Radio Scotland. She has written three further radio plays for Radio 4 and Radio Scotland. Merryn's first novel, A House Called Askival (2014), was published by Freight. In 2019, she was appointed the first Writer in Residence for the Cairngorms National Park.
The Hidden Fires: A Cairngorms Journey with Nan Shepherd is a response to Nan Shepherd's The Living Mountain. Drawing from the author's upbringing in the Himalayas and gradual adaptation to Scotland's hills, Merryn Glover contrasts her own Cairngorm experiences with Shepherd's.
