| Summary: | In 1980 the McCloud family welcomes Trevor, the last child to be born on Eilean Fior, a small island off the coast of Scotland. Life on the island is grim. The population, once in the hundreds, now hovers around thirty. Against this backdrop, through a series of interlocking narratives spanning from Trevor's birth to the present day, the novel follows each of the McClouds as they navigate their ever more fragile lives. Trevor collects the detritus of a dying culture and a diminished family, attempting to piece together the island's past and the story of his own diminished family. |
