The Last Summer: Volume 1 Swan Karen
The Last Summer is the first in an epic, sweeping historical series by Karen Swan, set in and around the Scottish island of St Kilda.When the residents of St Kilda ask to be evacuated from their remote island home in the summer of 1930, it's in search of a better life on the mainland rather than the scratch existence on their mountain in the sea.For 18-year old tomboy Effie Gillies, it's a bittersweet departure. But it is Effie's expansive knowledge of local bird life that leads her to taking up a position as curator of Dumfries House's ornithological collection - and back into the arms of Lord Dumfries' son and heir, Sholto.During her last summer on St Kilda, Effie had been Sholto's guide, and their attraction had seemed irresistible but, in the glamorous polite She's the best young climber on the island, as skilled and brave as any of the men.
