Description:
Longlisted for the 2020 Mark & Evette Moran Nib Literary Award
A soaring memoir of longing, resilience and delight in the natural world.
In this extraordinary and unexpected book, Patti tells the story of her own long-distance walking over hundreds of kilometres in Europe and of her brother's obsession with paragliding.
As adults, a tragic accident changes their relationship. One day, Barney's wing collapses and he plummets to earth, breaking his spine. The story of his struggle to walk again intersects Patti's long-distance journeys, creating an intense narrative of determination and triumph.
For Patti, walking is a radical act – a return to what has made us all human — that bestows a connection to wild nature and to creativity it self. But as she listens to her pragmatic and methodical brother tell his story, she learns that flying is his door to untrammelled joy too. She realises that she is 'meeting' him for the very first time.
This beautiful and inspiring book tells their story and reveals that the siblings share a willingness to take risks and an indefatigable determination. With rare insight and poetic writing,The Joy of High Placescombines physical adventure with a powerful emotional journey.
'Each time I opened this book, I felt as though I was returning to a wise and true friend. Patti Miller captures the pleasures of the body, the joy of landscape, the thrill of knowing and being known. More than that, she unpacks the mysteries of memory, and the way we carry our past into our present. I loved it.' —Kathryn Heyman, author of

A no-brainer
They taste good, arrived in great shape with no bruises, pricing can't be beat, and were just on the verge of being at peak condition which is just what you would hope for....not green anymore but good for several days. What's not to like? Prompt delivery. I don't know how they do it but they did. Five stars earned.

Just right bananas
Buying more groceries on Amazon lately. So, want to start sharing experience. The bananas were just right—not too ripe and not too green. Would buy them again thru Amazon

Received a perfect bunch!

I Some things are truly hit or miss with Amazon Fresh grocery deliveries!
I hadn’t ordered bananas for about a month due to what I’d received in the past.
Personal preference? I want those lovely pale green ends! Please!!! I don’t like the flavor or even the change in scent that happens when bananas turn darker yellow, freckle - or worse? Turn brown. Yuck.
Each previous delivery, I hadn’t been able to eat more than 3 out of each bunch because of the already yellowed fruit received. I even tried the currently trendy recommendation of wrapping the individual stem ends in plastic wrap to help slow the ripening process.
Was very pleased to receive a bunch of 6 small sized bananas, all delicately green and completely beautiful!
Beautiful job by the thoughtful delivery person as well, who didn’t just leave the bags in the rain on the (only 2!) steps, but made sure they were under the protection of the porch and not blocking my door.
Some items I never order anymore (beloved snap peas and garnet potatoes are two examples) after receiving spoiled items - more than once.

Nice size bananas. Not bruised or spoiled. Good bananas!
Really beautifully picked for ripeness and last a few days once you get them home.
