Book Description
I loved her from the moment I saw her, and that love has never wavered. It has encased every choice I have ever made, and I have never done anything in my life which didn’t involve her image somewhere…I’m so sorry for it all.
This is the latest English-language novel from award-winning Gaelic poet, novelist, journalist, broadcaster and actor, Angus Peter Campbell, and the first to be published simultaneously in Gaelic and English. It is a vividly evoked Scottish novel of chance encounters and of family memories, regret, love and loss, recounting the memory of a hazy summer’s day on the Isle of Mull.
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘an exceptionally good novel. It is among the best pieces of narrative literary fiction to have emerged from Scotland in the 21st century, in any language…an extraordinary achievement, by the increasingly excellent and adventurous Luath Press […] and by Angus Peter…beautifully written… [and can] be read simply as a love story […] the gorgeous bittersweet tone’ –Review on Books
