Greenvoe, the tight-knit community on the Orcadian island of
Hellya, has existed unchanged for generations, but Operation Black
Star requires the island for unspecified purposes and threatens the
islanders' way of life. A whole host of characters - The Skarf,
failed fishermen and Marxist historian; Ivan Westray, boatman and
dallier; pious creeler Samuel Whaness; drunken fishermen Bert
Kerston; earth-mother Alice Voar, and meths-drinker Timmy Folster -
are vividly brought to life in this sparkling mixture of prose and
poetry. In the end Operation Black Star fails, but not before it
has ruined the island; but the book ends on a note of hope as the
islanders return to celebrate the ritual rebirth of Hellya.
