Kat Gordon recommends
The Lost Lights of St Kilda (2020)
Elisabeth Gifford
"This is not only a love story between two people, but also between an island and its inhabitants. Richly detailed and evocative, the novel shines a light on the fascinating history of St Kilda, and the last community to call it home."
