May, P. (2014). Entry Island. (London: Quercus Editions Ltd)
Dr Anne is feeling particularly alone just now. It is 16 weeks since she broke her knee - cap and it feels as though it will never get better. Every day there is pain and a feeling of inertia.
This book has her thinking back to her ancestors who went to Canada in the early 1900s. Dr Anne knows who she is and thinks of her ancestors' hardships and how privileged she is to be who she is.
Sime and Kirsty were thrown together, the laird's daughter and the crofter boy who saved her life in the 1800s in the Outer Hebrides. They got separated as they ran off to a life together in Canada. The remnant is the RING and the PENDANT which Kirsty took from the family home. Sime was given the ring and Kirsty kept the pendant. Sime and Kirsty, great, great, great grandchildren of Sime and Kirsty are thrown together in the 21st century, great, great, great grandchildren of Sime and Kirsty when Kirsy's husband is murdered. Dr Anne was totally absorbed as the story unfurled. Will they get together in due course.
