Product Description
Synopsis
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Absorbing Tale, 19 Jan 2005
By F C Pearson (York, UK) - See all my reviews
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.
