Hibiscus Summers

By Pat Crichton

'This is Runaway Ghaut, ' he said. 'If you drink from the water here, it is said that you are meant to come back to Montserrat in the future. I thought we should try.' 1974 In the summer before she starts art school, Aberdeen teenager Annie Fraser wins a scholarship to paint in the lush, verdant landscape of the Caribbean island of Montserrat. Determined to express herself and surrender to new experiences, her friendship with Wallace Browne - a young Londoner visiting his Montserratian family - begins to blossom into something more. 2014 Still reeling from the sudden death of her husband, retired teacher Annie Davidson returns to Montserrat, resolved to rediscover her love of art and reconnect with life. She finds the island greatly changed by a devastating volcanic eruption, but its people as vibrant and welcoming as they once were. When a face from Annie's past reappears, she finds something else worth rediscovering.
