Publisher's Summary
Returning to the Hebridean island of Garve after 35 years, Alys falls in love with Donal, her childhood playmate. Interwoven with their story is that of Henrietta, held on an island against her will 300 years earlier. Linking the women are an enchanting embroidered curiosity cabinet, the tug of motherhood, and the island itself.

Critic Reviews
"A powerful story about love and obligation, set in the Western isles...bringing together historical facts and contemporary life...a persuasive novel very well written." (John Burnside)

Sweet. Excellent Gaelic love prose included
The moral of the story is, don’t tempt your friend’s malicious pride or she may have you stolen away. Beautifully read; Carolyn Bonnyman is my favourite reader in all Audiobooks. This is not as complex as Amanda Scott’s highland and Border series but it’s evocative of a longing for a simple and isolated life that resonated with me. Watch out for traditional roles for women getting thrilled with house makeovers! Otherwise it’s a little intriguing.
