Emotional Geology - Softcover
A passionate, off-beat love story set on the bleak and beautiful island of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides.
Rose Leonard is on the run from her life.
Haunted by her turbulent past, she takes refuge in a remoteHebridean island community where she cocoons herself in work, silenceand solitude in a house by the sea. Life and new love are offered byfriends, her estranged daughter and most of all by Calum, a fragileyounger man who has his own demons to exorcise.
But does Rose, with her tenuous hold on sanity, have the courage to say "Yes" to life and put her past behind her?...
EMOTIONAL GEOLOGY was shortlisted for the 2006 Waverton Good Read Award, awarded to the best first novel by a UK author.
