mom picked up a couple of lillian beckwith's novels from big w, but i don't think they were what she was hoping for, so she donated them to my bc pile. thanks mom! i hope whoever they go to next will enjoy them in a way that mom couldn't.

here's a peek at the back cover blurb:

"lillian beckwith's settling in on the island of bruach and having a croft of her own, is the basis of these comic adventures. adapting to a totally different way of life provides many excuses for humour and the eccentric cast of characters guarantees there is never a dull moment on bruach. in one story beachcombing yields a strange find. in another a christmas party results in a riotous night's celebrations."

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

posted off to one of my secret santa recipients today. i hope you enjoy this book, and have a fantastic christmas!!

Thankyou. I've read The Loud Halo and enjoyed it. I wanted to read more of LIllian's adventures.

The adventures of Lillian as she moves from city life to life on the island of Bruach.

She buys a cottage and becomes a resident of Bruach. This book is filled with homely descriptions of the challenges of establishing a home on this wild and isolated island, told with Beckwith's unique flair for finding subtle humor in everyday events. Her growing love for this beautiful island and her grudging respect for the rural wit and wisdom of its inhabitants is expressed with rare articulation. Her descriptions of rustic neighbors and the often hilarious events of their daily lives make this book hard to put down.
