Description
On the Hebridean islands of Great and Little Todday, 1943 brings rationing and hardship. Morale is at its lowest, with food scarce and whisky in short supply. But when a shipwreck off the coast brings unexpected good fortune, the community's fortunes begin to change.
As the islanders face their challenges, they must also contend with personal struggles and relationships. For George Campbell, a small dram of whisky may be just what he needs to find the courage to stand up for himself and follow his heart.
This humorous and poignant novel explores the power of community and resilience in the face of adversity, set against the unique backdrop of wartime Scotland.
