Waterstones Says

The author of The Bookshop on the Shore delivers another irresistible, big-hearted romance as a pilot in the Scottish Highlands crash lands on a remote island inhabited solely by a gruff, yet undeniably alluring, ornithologist.

The brand-new escapist summer novel from Sunday Times bestseller Jenny Colgan. Fall in love with a new cast of characters and get swept away in a breath-taking romance you'll want to read again and again...

Born into a family of successful pilots, Morag is used to flying high. But when a tragic accident above the clouds grounds her, could the future she'd always imagined be suddenly out of reach?

When she receives a call telling her that her beloved grandfather has been taken ill, Morag leaves her fast-paced life in London to return home to the tranquil Scottish Highlands. With her grandfather out of action, Morag has no choice but to take over flying the local route in his rickety old plane, ferrying locals across the beautiful islands of the archipelago.

But as the weather takes a dramatic turn, Morag is forced to crash-land on a remote island and suddenly finds herself far from civilisation and all alone. Then she discovers Gregor, the gruff and reclusive ornithologist taking care of the island for the season. Though the pair don't see eye to eye, Morag is forced to seek shelter at his cabin and it seems the pair are stuck together until help arrives. However long that may be...

As she awaits rescue, might Morag discover that a remote Scottish island, cut off from real-life, is exactly the place she needs to be?

“Fabulous feel good from the Queen of Scottish fiction!”

I absolutely adored this book and the likeable characters, including the animals - who wouldn’t want a chicken called Barbara or a goat called Fraser?? Morag is feisty who thinks she’s heading for the happy ever after... More
