Product Description

Product Description
Gilbert Macleod comes to St Kilda as the teacher. This rites-of-passage tale cannot unfold without the influence of a population alien to the new arrival but serene in its relationship with creation. Against a background of the everyday rituals of survival, both physical and metaphysical, Gilbert is drawn into the community, until his personal conflicts seem insignificant in his new understanding of a people apart. Hugh Gunn Ross evokes a distant world of the late nineteenth century, and weaves a powerful narrative through moments of great happiness, failure, tragedy and loss.

About the Author
Hugh Gunn Ross was born in Inverness. His work has taken him to different parts of Scotland and he is now settled in Edinburgh. His war service in the Middle East and Italy altered his perspective of the twentieth century. He writes, "I have enjoyed travelling in other countries and to some of them have returned again and again.But it has been a unique experience to have lived in imagination for a time on St Kilda."

4.0 out of 5 stars Absorbing Tale, 19 Jan 2005
By F C Pearson (York, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fulmar and the Rock: A Fable of St Kilda (Paperback)
This book is a wonderfully absorbing read. Hugh Gunn Ross evocatively depicts a bygone era as seen through the eyes of a newcomer to this remote part of the world. I was completely drawn in. Set around one row of windswept cottages it is a keen insight into the unique way of life of the islanders there. Within the story there is unrequited love and there is tragic love. And I thoroughly recommend this book to all Scottish island lovers.
