pickso good and yet heartbreaking at the same time. It deals with some pretty tough themes and as a parent of a girl the right age it was hard hitting. I like how we saw it through three completely different experiences. It added so much more depth to the story. The plot is simple in many ways yet it takes you on a journey. It has a modern feel running through it with occasional excerpts from online posts, police reports. #Netgalley 5*

Always helpful when the book has a map.
We are starting on the Isle of Man
pickI had no idea about the Highland Clearances before this novel. People were being forcibly removed from their homes in the Highlands & the islands by their landlords. It‘s bleak and devastating. This novella follows John, a minister-turned-errand boy who is sent to evict Ivar, the last inhabitant on his island. John becomes injured and Ivar saves his life. Their growing bond, and the arrival of John‘s wife Mary, challenge what family really means.
