Description
The Outer Hebrides, a land of stark beauty and rugged charm, is the setting for Peter May's latest work, Hebrides. This book is a companion to his bestselling Lewis trilogy, and a photographic journey through the islands that inspired his writing. Through prose and images, May takes readers on an odyssey through the history of the Vikings' 'Long Island' and his own personal connection to the islands. The book explores the island life, with its bewitching and treacherous landscapes, and May's encounters with the people and places that shaped his writing. With extracts from the trilogy and specially commissioned photographs, Hebrides places his writing and characters within the land that gave them form. For fans of the Lewis trilogy and those interested in the history and culture of the Outer Hebrides, Hebrides is a must-have companion.
