Format:Hardcover
Jim Hewitson has written an entrancing book about life on the tiny but beautiful and historic Orkney island of Papa Westray. Each chapter is a story in itself, bringing the island's delightful characters to life. A professional journalist, Jim has an experienced eye and a great skill with words. He lives on the island and understands the key issues in Papa Westray's struggle to survive in the modern world. An excellent book for anyone interested in Orkney or small island life.

Format:Hardcover
Jim Hewitson's book provides an fascinating glimpse into life on the tiny and remote Orkney island of Papa Westray. Although physically small, Papa Westray's diminutive size, four miles by one mile, belies its long and rich history. Papa Westray is home to several imporant archealogical sites (the Knap of Howar, a 5,500 yerar old farm house and St. Boniface Church to name a few) and currently home to 67 intrepid souls. Hewitson does a brilliant job of weaving together the past and the present to create an entrancing view of Papa Westray. After reading this book, I felt compelled to visit to Papa Westray and found Hewitson's book an ideal primer. Anyone interested in the Orkney's should read this book.
