'a remarkable tale of remote living'
*Sunday Post*
'a lovely, gentle tale of a lady who had to wind down to adjust to
her new life, which proved to be anything but dull! It will stir
the adventurer in all of us!'
*Fleetwood Weekly News*
'This is a rather subtle book, all the more convincing for its
occasional naiveties and its draughtswoman's plainness of
observation... The plainness of the writing is exemplary. There are
a couple of heart-stopping sunsets, but mostly we get to know Anne
through tiny glimpses and tone-changes. She doesn't make a show of
naivety. It also comes through in tiny verbal lapses, as when she
mixes up sulphur dioxide (which smells) and carbon monoxide (which
doesn't), or when she refers, delightfully, to installing a "hot
water gas geezer"'
