Description

New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan takes us to the gloriously windswept islands of northern Scotland, where we meet young Morag McGinty, who runs the puddle-jumper flights that serve the islands' tiny but proudly feisty population.

Morag MacIntyre is a Scottish lass from the remote islands that make up the northernmost reaches of the UK. She's also a third-generation pilot, the heir apparent to an island plane service she runs with her grandfather. The islands—over 500 dots of windswept land that reach almost to Norway—rely on their one hardworking prop plane to deliver mail, packages, tourists, medicine, and the occasional sheep. As the keeper of this vital lifeline, Morag is used to landing on pale golden beaches and tiny grass airstrips, whether during great storms or on bright endless summer nights. Up in the blue sky, Morag feels at one with the elements.

Down on the ground is a different matter, though. Her grandfather is considering and Morag wonders if she truly wants to spend the rest of her life in the islands. Her boyfriend Hayden, from flight school, wants Morag to move to Dubai with him, where they'll fly A380s and say goodbye to Scotland's dark winters.

Morag is on the verge of making a huge life change when an unusually bumpy landing during a storm finds her marooned on Inchborn island. Inchborn is gloriously off-grid, home only to an ancient ruined abbey, a bird-watching station, and a population of one: Gregor, a visiting ornithologist from Glasgow who might have just the right perspective to help Morag pilot her course.

        Flying runs in Morag McGinty's family. While working as a pilot for a commercial airline, though, Morag has a midair emergency that shakes her confidence. While on leave, she is summoned by her grandfather back home to help with the family business. Her grandfather runs an island-hopping air service in northern Scotland but has fallen ill and needs extra help. Morag tells herself that as long as she is copilot she will be just fine. Little does she know that she will be thrust into the pilot seat again when her pilot has a medical emergency and she has to land the plane in a storm on a tiny island. She stays on the island while the pilot is flown by helicopter to the main island for care. She seeks shelter with the only person on the island, temporary resident Gregor. While being stranded they grow closer, and Morag realizes that she cannot go back to her old life. Colgan's latest (after An Island Wedding, 2022) is full of imagery that will transport readers to northern Scotland. Fans of Jill Mansell will enjoy this one.
