Book description
Her life a blur of one-night stands and ensuing hangovers, Clare
Somerville has taken a long hard look at herself, and doesn't like what
she sees. Tired of the ebb and flow of nameless faces in the hotel of
which she's partner, Clare heads for the Scottish Highlands, knowing
only that she must break clear from her past and start afresh. The
isolated cottage on the shore of a sea-loch seems wholly unsuitable for
her. The difficulties of adapting to the lonely, self-sufficient
existence, of learning the language and ways of a new community, and of
coming to terms with herself - and her past - are daunting. But the
Larach, the primitive cottage she comes to love, the breathtaking
landscape and the warmth of the people she encounters soon give Clare
hope for the future. 'A compelling read' Alexandra Raife has lived
abroad in many countries and worked at a variety of jobs, including a
six-year commission in the RAF and many years co-running a Highland
hotel.
