5.0
A beautifully descriptive and utterly fascinating book that I highly recommend to anyone looking for an emersive journey around the west coast of the British Isles.
The amount of information contained in these 400 pages is staggering; there were so many captivating anecdotes, both historical and from the journey itself, that I know I'm going to need to experience it several times to get the most from it. I was particularly taken with the details of family life in lighthouses and the history of Toraigh, the most remote inhabited island of Ireland.
I listened to the audio version of this book and found Ed Hughes narration excellent.
