A review by mawalker1962
Entry Island by Peter May

5.0

Last summer I devoured Peter May’s Blackhouse Trilogy, so I was thrilled when a friend loaned me this book. It explores links between the blackhouses of the Outer Hebrides and eastern Canada and the ways in which the past is never past. I did not know that the critter clearances is common in 19th century Ireland happened in the same way in the outer Hebrides. And I was reminded again that in every age, the Uber rich are willing to hoard resources for their own entertainment while around them the workers they’ve exploited for centuries starve. This was a gripping mystery.
