- Synopsis
- For Innis and Biddy, life has changed greatly from the days when they were poor crofters. Innis has found marriage to a handsome shepherd to be utterly different from what she expected. And Biddy has become quite accustomed to being a wealthy widow, aloof from both her past and her dead husband's family. Though the sisters' lives seem set, they are destined to change once more as their island moves half-willingly into a new era. [from inside flaps] "In her magnificent new novel Jessica Stirling continues the epic of love, greed, and betrayal that began in The Island Wife. For Innis and Biddy, daughters of the embittered Vassie Campbell, life has changed greatly from the days when they were poor tenant farmers. Innis, the mother of three young children, has found that marriage to handsome Michael Tarrant is utterly different from the idyll she expected. And Biddy has become only too accustomed to being a wealthy widow who keeps herself aloof from both the life she once knew and her dead husband's family. But though the sisters' lives seem set, they are destined to change once more. For Innis, a temptation to a better life may have come too late--and for Biddy, courted by an ardent new suitor, happiness may have come at last. Set against the background of an island that is being forced half-willingly into a new era, the story of the two different sisters and their very different longings is one of the most memorable Jessica Stirling stories yet." This is book #2 in Jessica Stirling's the Isle of Mull trilogy, rich with emotion and filled with details about life in the Scottish Hebrides islands at the end of the nintee4nth century. If you enjoy historic fiction, family sagas, character-driven plots or romance, Look for #1 Island Wife and #3 The Strawberry Season, in the Bookshare collection.
