Book description
1830. Neil and Lizzie MacKenzie, a newly married young couple, arrive
at the remotest part of the British Isles: St Kilda. He is a minister
determined to save the souls of the pagan inhabitants; his pregnant wife
speaks no Gaelic and, when her husband is away, has only the waves and
the cry of gulls for company. As both find themselves tested to the
limit in this harsh new environment, Lizzie soon discovers that marriage
is as treacherous a country as the land that surrounds her. 1830. Neil
