's review

it was amazing

This book is set on a remote Scottish island in 1843.
John Ferguson is an impoverished minister. He is tasked to remove the last remaining inhabitant of this island. His name is Ivar. He has lived off the land for many years. It is the only life he knows.
Shortly after arriving, John falls off a cliff and becomes unconscious and injured. Ivar finds him and nurses him back to health. John and Ivar do not speak the same language., but learn to communicate with one another. Ivar is happy to have John on the island. John has an unpleasant job to complete.
This is a beautiful story filled with compassion. It is a heartfelt emotional read about loneliness and relationships.
Not to be missed.

Ian M. Pyatt Captivating review Maureen. This certainly seems like a deep read with two very different characters learning to work together for survival on that island
