Loved the island setting of this - so close to my heart! Kinda Where the Crawdads Sing energy? Like the bildungsroman element of young woman growing up in nature. It was slow paced and did put me to sleep for a couple of spicy naps but this wasn't a bad thing. My only criticism is that the novel spreads so much time being historically true to the story of St Kilda that the relationship between the two protagonists maybe isn't as developed as I'd like? Certainly some spicy, albeit predictable, character development from Archie. Recommend to island and nature lovers!
