4.0 out of 5 starsA House by the Shore - Alison Johnson
By ehemis12 on 25 Jun. 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Evocative writing, memorable reading, allows a glimpse of life in the remote outer Isles, where weather has a huge impact on daily life, and is often challenging, but when the sun shines, the scenery is magical. In this book, you can read about the trials and triumphs of the couple who open a guesthouse in order to make a living in the Outer Hebrides. Not lacking in humour - or courage. I enjoyed reading this book, and felt the better for it.

4.0 out of 5 starsA good book
By Nikki Warburton on 16 May 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I first read this book years ago and thoroughly enjoyed re-reading it. I can recommend it as a good read on a wet winter evening when you want to be lazy but enjoy reading about someone else achieving so much through sheer effort! A lovely book.

5.0 out of 5 starsA house by the Shore
By T. on 24 Sept. 2009
Format: Paperback
A great read, written with dry humor, giving information on what it is like to renovate a guesthouse and entertain guests in the Outer Hebrides. Highly recommended!
