In an old wooden sloop, Philip Marsden plots a course north from
his home in Cornwall. He is sailing for the Summer Isles, a small
archipelago near the top of Scotland that holds for him a deep and
personal significance. On the way, he must navigate the west coast
of Ireland and the Inner Hebrides. Through the people he meets and
the tales he uncovers, Marsden builds up a haunting picture of
these shores - of imaginary islands and the Celtic otherworld, of
the ageless draw of the west, of the life of the sea and perennial
loss - and the redemptive power of the imagination. The Summer
Isles is an unforgettable account of the search for actual places,
invented places, and those places in between that shape the lives
of individuals and entire nations.
