Islanders

Viac o knihe

Set against the backdrop of Shetland, this novel reflects the author's transformative seven-year experience living on the islands. It weaves together her explorations of the landscape, her discovery of local sagas while working at the library, and her involvement in archaeological digs. The narrative was revised in the 1990s in various locations, including Iceland, before its publication in 1994. This debut work not only captures the essence of Shetland but also marks the beginning of Margaret Elphinstone's journey as a writer.
