This is one of the most beautifully written books I've read. The story is set in the Fifties and is about a boy, James, taken on holiday to a remote Scottish island by his ghastly father and friends. Almost as soon as James arrives he begins having strange experiences and visions. I love this novel and have read it three times so far.
A kid visits the Scottish countryside for a summer holiday with his dad and his friends. Loved the book and especially a lovely imagery that the author managed to create of a 50s countryside town considered dead due to lack of work and set in the 50s, the characters talk of nostalgia. A lot of gaelic is interspersed in the conversations adding to the flavour.
