The way North describes the island is so poetic and beautiful that it is brought to life in vivid colours and you can tell the writer has a close connection with the island with the amount of love and time taken to describe the beaches, the nature and the breathtaking views. Sometimes who we are goes way beyond where we are from. What happened to Florence? Why is Dougie so reluctant to return home? How can Nell make peace with the lies she’s been told? A beautifully written and poignant exploration of family secrets spilling through the generations. Immersive and compelling' Elizabeth Buchan

That is precisely what happened with the characters in Little Wing, Nell and Dougie especially. They just brought such warmth to me, and I wanted nothing but the best outcome for them both.I enjoyed the characters and while it was hard to make out quite what was going on in the beginning, come the middle and end, I was able to relax into the different story lines.
