This story is a beautiful love letter to St Kilda and its people. It is a story of a way of life long gone but never to be forgotten.
This book follows the lives of the villagers in the last years of St Kilda before it was evacuated in 1930. It is told through the voices of Fred Lawson and Chrissie Gillies as it follows them from 1927 right through to the end of the Second World War. It is the story of lost love and the power of never giving up hope. It is a beautifully evocative story with the island of St Kilda taking centre stage.
The story is so much more than a love story though between as you get a real sense of the landscape and the history of the time. It is a beautifully moving story.
