Product Description

My childhood socks were always white, my frocks ironed. Each day predictable, safe. I escaped. Aged 19, I was swept off my feet by a wild adventurer & married within months. Two small children later (with three more to come) complete with Labradors, cats, a heavy horse & hearts full of dreams, we arrived on a remote Hebridean island to begin our life on the Tapsalteerie Estate. Nothing was ever predictable again. ISLAND WIFE tells the story of Judy, who, at 19, met her Wild Pioneer. He whisked her off into an adventure, a marriage of forty years, & a life on a remote Hebridean isl&. Along the way she bears five children, learns how to run a rocky hill farm, a hotel, a recording studio & the first whale watching business in the UK
- all the while inventively making fraying ends meet. When her children start to leave home, things fall apart & there is sadness & joy in how she puts things back together. Judy tells her story in a clear & unique voice, in turns funny, unforgettable & intensely moving.
