SALT AND THE FLAME (PB)

When Finlay and Mairead leave the Isle of Lewis in 1923 for Canada, their lives - along with those of the islanders they leave behind - are changed forever. The pair are young, filled with hope, and bound together by a shared past but as they face the realities of an uncaring industrial society, their paths will soon diverge. With lyrical prose and masterful storytelling, this is a vivid portrait of the Hebrideans-in-exile who struggled between holding on and letting go.
