A common delusion among the mentally ill is to think they are being played on screen. But for me it is really happening, or I’m pretty sure it is. My memoir of returning to the Orkney islands and recovery from alcoholism has been adapted into a feature film. Late at night, in bed with my laptop close to my face, I watch movie star Saoirse Ronan’s face reflected in her onscreen laptop, and I am looking into a weird mirror.

Waking after a night at sea, I was elated to look out of the cabin window and see the city of Algiers, blazing white. The splendid capital rises from its Mediterranean bay in improbable layers, from the arches of the French colonial port to the warren of the Casbah, to the clear blue sky, all overlooked by the Martyrs’ Memorial, which represents the country’s fight for independence. “Never was town more nobly placed,” wrote Edith Wharton, who visited by yacht in 1888.

Walking through the woods to collect the vegetable bag, Amy Liptrot’s sons leave babyhood — and make strides towards independence. On Friday afternoons we go down through the woods and pick up our vegetable bag, left in a shed down the hill.
