WATERSTONES NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTHTHE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER‘Enchanting’ Telegraph‘Miraculous’ Isabella Tree‘Exquisite’ FTFrom the No.1 bestselling author of The Shepherd's Life, an unforgettable story of friendship, redemption and a life-changing voyage of discovery on a remote Norwegian islandHow far do you have to go to find yourself?One afternoon many years ago, James Rebanks met an old woman on a remote Norwegian island. She lived and worked alone on a tiny rocky outcrop, caring for wild Eider ducks and gathering their down. Hers was a centuries-old trade that had once made men and women rich, but had long been in decline. Still, somehow, she seemed to be hanging on.

Back at home, Rebanks couldn’t stop thinking about the woman on the rocks. She was fierce and otherworldly – and yet strangely familiar. Years passed. Then, one day, he wrote her a letter, asking if he could return. Bring work clothes, she replied, and good boots, and come quickly: her health was failing. And so he travelled to the edge of the Arctic to witness her last season on the island.

This is the story of that season. It is the story of a unique and ancient landscape, and of the woman who brought it back to life. It traces the pattern of her work from the rough, isolated toil of bitter winter, to the elation of the endless summer light, when the birds leave behind their precious down for gathering, like feathered gold.

Slowly, Rebanks begins to understand that this woman and her world are not what he had previously thought. What began as a journey of escape becomes an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness.

Great for Recovery Nights, Unscented and Budget Friendly
At 52 with combination skin, this cream is exactly what I need for deeper hydration, but not every day. It is rich and nourishing, so I use it strategically, mainly on recovery nights or when my skin needs extra support. It works especially well after retinol or exfoliation nights, helping to restore moisture and support the skin barrier. By morning, my skin feels soft, smooth, and well hydrated without irritation. Because it is a thicker cream, I prefer to use it once or a few times a week rather than daily so it does not feel too heavy on combination skin. Used this way, it performs very well. I also appreciate that Good Molecules products are unscented and very affordable, which makes it easy to build a routine that actually works without overspending. Great option if you want a richer moisturizer for targeted hydration and barrier repair.

Great value moisturizer for sensitive skin
As someone with rosacea and easily irritated, sensitive skin, I’m always nervous trying new skincare. If you’re in the same boat, this is absolutely the moisturizer to look into. This formula is incredibly light but still genuinely hydrating. It doesn’t feel heavy, greasy, or suffocating. It absorbs beautifully and leaves my skin calm and comfortable instead of red or burning. It gives the prettiest soft, dewy glow without looking shiny. One of my favorite things? It layers perfectly under makeup. My foundation doesn’t slide around or separate - it stays put while still looking fresh and radiant. It’s that ideal balance of hydrated but not slick. I also love that it comes in a tube instead of a jar. No dipping fingers into a tub (huge plus for sensitive, reactive skin). And you truly only need a small amount - a little goes a long way

Good daily moisturizer
This is the second time I’m purchasing this moisturizer and I’m still very impressed. It’s a bit thick when first applying but soaks in quickly and has helped with my skin feeling tight or itchy. I use it as a daily product after washing my face and find it holds up throughout the day. The tube is smaller but for the price, this isn’t too big of an issue for me, especially compared to other products I’ve used in the past.

It really hydrates
I havent used it long enough but so far so good. I haven't had any reactions to it. It is really oily so I personally do not use it during the day becaus ei dont like looking extra oily. But at night is really good.

Good, but not for super oily skin
My skin is oily in my t zone especially my nose area due to my large pores. I wanted to find a ceramide cream to help protect my skin barrier when using retinoid at night. This product is heavy and had me waking up with a greasy and oily t zone in the morning. I think it would be great for dry dehydrated skin but not for me. It does make my skin feel soft though. I haven't experienced any breakouts due to it either. The bottle is small but a little definitely goes a long way with this as it is rich like the name describes. I also love how it doesn't have a fragrance at all. Everything about this product is pretty good, its just not suited for my skin personally due to my skin being naturally oily already.
