"A bright book and a brilliant book." - Robert Macfarlane. Peter
MacAulay sits down to write his will. The process sets in motion a
compulsive series of reflections: a history of his own lifetime and
a subjective account of how key events in the post-war world filter
through to his home, Stornoway. He reveals his passions for
history, engines and fish, and witnesses changing times - and
things that don't change - in the Hebrides. The novel is driven by
its idiosyncratic narrator, but with counterpoints from people he
engages with - his father, mother, wife, daughter, friends. It's
all about stories, a litany of small histories witnessed during one
very individual lifetime.
