Clare decides to give up her wild life and live in an isolated cottage in Scotland. As she struggles to cope, and gets involved in the local community, her past gradually emerges into the open. A gentle and enjoyable book with clever observations about people.

I really loved this book. Raife reminds me a bit of Mary Stewart. I enjoyed the scenery and the characters. I love the way the protagonist developed over the course of the story. I have read it at least 3-4 times and now want to go read it again.
