In February 2019, award-winning writer Alex Roddie left his online
life behind when he set out to walk 300 miles through the Scottish
Highlands, seeking solitude and answers. In leaving the chaos of
the internet behind for a month, he hoped to learn how it was truly
affecting him - or if he should look elsewhere for the causes of
his anxiety. The Farthest Shore is the story of Alex's solo trek
along the remote Cape Wrath Trail. As he journeyed through a
vanishing winter, Alex found answers to his questions, learnt the
nature of true silence, and discovered frightening evidence of the
threats faced by Scotland's wild mountain landscape.
Do you love someone enough to let them go?It was love at first
sight when talented art student Felicity "Flick" Johnston-Hart and
Jim MacDuff's worlds collided at Oxford University. However, after
years of blissful marriage, everything crashes down when their
marriage comes to a painful and abrupt end, thanks to Flick's
interfering mother Penelope. Finally succumbing to maternal
pressure, Flick falls into the high-flying career her mother
believed she was destined for. However, she soon realises life
without Jim isn't all she'd hoped, and that some decisions, once
made, cannot be undone. Meanwhile, Jim is settling back into life
as a single man in the beautiful Highland village of Shieldaig,
when an unexpected visitor brings painful news. A letter from
beyond the grave leads him to do something he never imagined and
takes him on a journey he didn't anticipate. Can either of them
heal and truly move on? Or is it true that a broken heart can never
be a blank canvas? This book was previously published as Through
the Glass. Praise for Lisa Hobman: 'I love it! - escape to the
