2022 PB in excellent condition. Experience the wild beauty of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland and an unforgettable love story in this Sunday Times bestselling novel: a heartfelt, uplifting and emotional family drama of secrets and self-discovery, love and forgiveness, home and belonging, written by one of the UK's most popular authors. The unforgettable novel of two families and the beautiful remote island that unites them.

In 1969 - in the historic Roman town of Colchester in southern England, teenager Florence Lawson dreams of being an artist but discovers she's pregnant. In disgrace, she is banished to distant relatives in one of the most remote areas of the United Kingdom... never to be heard of again.

In 1984 - Dougie Munro, searching for adventure, leaves the Scottish island of his birth for the mainland and a career as a photographer in London.

In 2005 - Nell Hartley, content running a charity café in a small English town, discovers a shocking truth about her family which turns her life upside down. Between the hectic sprawl of the capital city and mundane English suburbia to the wild and unpredictable Scottish island, three lives will collide and connect. What happened to young Florence all those years ago? Why is Dougie so reluctant to return home? How will Nell make sense of the lies she's been told? There are secrets in the heather and the moors, in the wind and the mountains, along the rocky shoreline and sandy beaches - but where do the answers lie and how can they be found?

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A beautifully told story that transported me to the Isle of Harris. Freya North truly has a gift with words - her descriptions are so vivid and evocative that, even though I've never set foot on the island, I could see it clearly in my mind. The atmosphere she creates is both immersive and moving."; "I have read 3 of Ms. North's books now & loved every one. I will be reading more of them for sure!"; "I loved this book so much. It combines history, research into family history, the Outer Hebrides, all within a compelling storyline. It was one of those books you could imagine in detail, from the emotions, the setting, the tension and the release."
