This is not only a love story between two people, but also between an island and its inhabitants. Richly detailed and evocative, the novel shines a light on the fascinating history of St Kilda, and the last community to call it home.
A gorgeous sweeping love story set on a remote Scottish island.
I knew I would enjoy reading this novel because who doesn’t love a good historical romance?!
But what really grabbed me was the relationship between Chrissie and her beloved island of St Kilda. The remote Scottish island felt like it’s own character. The descriptions of the wild winters and the isolation which eventually doomed the inhabitants of the island in the 1920s was utterly gripping.
This novel covers a truly fascinating period of Scottish history, beautifully written and well researched by the author.
