Dame Ellen MacArthur’s latest book is not just about sailing, nor is it even predominantly about her well known and admired solo exploits at sea. Full Circle looks at Dame Ellen’s broader, more human life and story, particularly focussing on her reasons behind the decision to turn her back on competitive sailing and her subsequent actions and life choices. Now dedicating herself to the cause of sustainability, the book tackles the question of how and why one the world’s most lauded sportswomen turned her back on the world that adored her to focus her drive and ambition towards a seemingly impossible to solve global issue. Full Circle is about hope and determination, about family and the ties that bond and drive us, and about how one person can make a difference, no matter how small.
