“It is... difficult to dissociate Jamie's preoccupation with questions of land access and ownership from the fact that she is writing out of a country with one of the most unequal distributions of land ownership in Europe. Jamie has referred to 'the scandalous business of land ownership, especially in Scotland, where 80% of the land is owned by 10% of the people, and issues related to these imbalances often surface in her work. In a recent interview, Jamie remarked: 'I feel I might be striking a tiny blow: by getting out into thse places, and developing a language and a way of seeing that is not theirs but ours... It's the simplest act of resistance and renewal.”
