Description
The Island by Alasdair McPherson is a charming coming-of-age tale that follows a Glasgow boy's journey to discover his roots on a small island in the Highlands. For the first time at thirteen, he travels to the island and finds a way of life that is slower and gentler, yet packed with humour and larger-than-life characters.
Under the eccentric guidance of his great uncle, Uncle James, the city boy spends much of his adolescence on the island, learning to think and act like an islander. As he settles into his new home, he begins to experience the joys and challenges of life in a more rural setting, including the first heady scent of a Highlands romance.
