The Lost Lights of St Kilda by Elisabeth Gifford
5.0
What an excellent book. This moody, evocative and lyrical narrative follows Fred and Chrissie, who meet on the island of St Kilda in the 1920s or 30s and try to find their way back to each other through WWII. It was touching and the imagery was fantastic. I could see myself on St Kilda with the characters, sharp wind and seabirds flying high above.
I rarely give 5 stars, but there's nothing I would change about this book. It was wonderful. I honestly have no idea why there isn't more chat about this book. Highly recommended.
*This book was given to me by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review – all opinions are my own.* (My ARC copy had no years in it, so it was a bit hard to follow the timeline, but it didn't matter too much.)
