Customer Reviews

If you loved "Ring of Bright Water", you'll love this book.

Margaret Leigh's delightful book decribes crofting life in thecoastal Scottish highlands during WWII. Amid great privation and bone wearying effort, she transports you to a landscape and a life so magical you will ache to be there with her. An anthem of courage and fortitude from a single middle-aged woman with poetry in her soul. My 88 year old neighbor is having me order several copies for friends.
