Before I talk about the story, I just have to say that the book cover is gorgeous with the gold foil details and I do love a book with a map on the inside cover.
A stunning novel set on St Kilda, a remote Scottish island. The story follows Cambridge student Fred Lawson who arrives in St Kilda to work for the summer. He falls in love with island girl Chrissie but years later, Chrissie who is now living on the mainland, hasn't heard from Fred since he left the island.

Weaving together two different storylines The Lost Lights of St Kilda is a haunting tale of love, between two people and the Island where they first met.
