Description
Douglas Stuart, author of the acclaimed *Shuggie Bain* and *Young Mungo*, returns with a poignant novel set against the stark beauty of the Isle of Harris. A young man, John-Calum Macleod, returns home from art school with little to show for his education, finding himself caught between his father's traditional expectations and his own burgeoning desires. As he navigates the familiar landscape of his childhood, marked by his devout father and his spirited grandmother, John-Calum grapples with unspoken truths and the secrets that lie beneath the surface of his island community. This immersive story explores themes of duty, passion, and the courage it takes to embrace one's true self, even when it challenges the foundations of home.
