Description

World War II has brought rationing to the Hebridean islands of Great and Little Todday. When food is in short supply, it’s bad enough, but if the whisky runs out, it looks as though the end of the world has come. George Campbell needs the courage to get up to his mother and marry Catriona. The priest, the doctor and, of course, the inn’s landlord are also sufferers of the low morale. There’s no conversation, no jollity, and no fun until a shipwreck off the coast brings a piece of atypical good fortune. Firstly published in 1947 and adapted to film in 1949, this novel is in keeping with a true event within the Scottish Hebrides and is still an entertaining insight into island culture through its energetic characters.
