In the 1840s newly married John, a poor clergyman, leaves his wife Mary behind to take a job which involves travelling to a remote Scottish island where he must 'clear' the single remaining inhabitant, Ivar, whom the landowner is going to replace with sheep. Soon after his arrival, John has an accident and is found unconscious by Ivar who despite their lack of a common language cares for him and the two form a bond.
This is a wonderfully tender love story to the land, a disappeared way of life and human relationships. I loved it. And if you haven't read Davies' novel, West I urge you to read that too. I meanwhile need to read her other novel and her short stories. Highly recommended.
