Two lost souls… and the wild, beautiful island between them

Fiercely independent, Liza never takes time off work but she planned this holiday months ago. She’s here for a reason, determined to shed one skin and try on another. Somewhere on this wild and beautiful island at the edge of the Atlantic, she’s hoping that answers can be found.

These days, Jamie divides his life between Sheffield and his beloved Harris, a place of solace and calm since childhood. Passionate about preserving the secrets of the land, he’s just as protective of its people. He’s happily stuck in his ways because that’s the safest place to be.

Summer in Harris stretches ahead: a time of endless sunshine and relentless rain, wind-whipped seas and sugar-fine beaches, clouds of midgies and the famous machair bursting with wildflowers. Liza and Jamie meet and wish they hadn’t. But the island has its own plans for both of them.

'Profoundly moving and uplifting. I was utterly invested in the characters and swept away by the stunning setting'

'A deeply comforting story of connection, self-discovery and hope…I closed the book feeling soothed, uplifted and reluctant to leave.'
