Archipelago - Paperback

by Gabrielle Barnby (Author)

ORKNEY
Exile and renewal

Dr. Harriet Wolf-scholar, exile, breaker of taboos-has fled to the windswept Orkney islands, her career in ruins after an affair with a student.
Seeking refuge in Erskine, a renovated croft steeped in old ghosts and past betrayals, she finds herself reluctantly drawn into the rhythms of island life.
From the enigmatic members of the local stoat-trapping team to those carrying their own burdens of love and loss, Harriet's world intertwines with others in unexpected ways.
As the tides carve and reclaim the shore, lives collide in acts of rescue, punishment and escape.
A haunting tale of solitude, entanglement, and the inescapable pull of the past.
