In this novel, set in the late Thirties, the author has drawn on her recollections of the close-knit family and community lifestyle prevalent at that time. It describes the situations and day-to-day events, both humorous and serious, which occur in the lives of a three-generation family on an island croft. Kari Williamson was born in West Sandwick, Yell but has spent most of her life in North-a-Voe, Yell, except for the years 1941-47 which were spent in Lerwick where she attended the Central School. She has had articles and children’s stories published in various magazines and her illustrations have been used in national magazines and by book publishers both in the UK and abroad.
