The Lost Lights of St Kilda

De: Elisabeth Gifford

Narrado por: Fiona McNeill, Geoffrey Newland, Diane Brooks

The year 1927: When Fred Lawson takes a summer job on St. Kilda, little does he realize that he has joined the last community to ever live on that beautiful, isolated island. Only three years later, St. Kilda will be evacuated, the islanders near dead from starvation. But for Fred, memories of that summer - and the island woman, Chrissie, with whom he falls in love - will never leave him.

The year 1940: Fred has been captured behind enemy lines in France and finds himself in a prisoner-of-war camp. Beaten and exhausted, his thoughts return to the island of his youth and the woman he loved and lost. When he makes his daring escape, prompting a desperate journey across occupied territory, he is sustained by one thought only: finding his way back to Chrissie.

The Lost Lights of St Kilda is a sweeping love story that crosses oceans and decades. It is a moving and deeply vivid portrait of two lovers, a desolate island, and the extraordinary power of hope in the face of darkness.

Really enjoyable

This story has a slow thoughtful pace. Characters you grow to care about and want to see reunited.
The story of the island of St. Kilda is woven into the story of it's people and you care for it too, hoping even when hope is all but lost. Great story for a long rainy weekend on the coast.
