Description
The Lost Lights of St Kilda by Elisabeth Gifford In the summer of 1927, Fred Lawson takes a job on the remote island of St Kilda, unaware that he is part of the last community to ever call the island home. Three years later, the island is evacuated, its inhabitants near death from starvation. Yet for Fred, memories of that summer and the island woman, Chrissie, with whom he fell in love, remain with him forever. Fred's life is forever changed when he is captured behind enemy lines in France and finds himself in a prisoner-of-war camp. Beaten and exhausted, his thoughts return to the island of his youth and the woman he loved and lost. When Fred makes his daring escape, he is driven by one thought: finding his way back to Chrissie. This sweeping love story spans oceans and decades, a moving and deeply vivid portrait of two lovers and the extraordinary power of hope in the face of darkness.
