Summary

Peopled with characters like Great Aunt Rachel, ‘built like a Churchill tank and with a personality to match’, these are the stories of a childhood, of the hard years of the Depression, and then the departure of the island’s young men to fight in the Second World War. Together they bring alive the warmth and closeness of a unique Hebridean community.
