Island on the Edge of the World - Charles Maclean - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

For more than two thousand years the people of St Kilda remained remote from the world.

In 1930, the few remaining islanders were evacuated, no longer able to support themselves.An exploration of the life and death of the remote Hebridean society, Island on the Edge of the World is a moving account of human endeavour.

Blaming himself, Haraldsen dives into the investigation and soon learns that the boys are not the first to have gone missing on Vagar.As Tristan and Elsebeth become increasingly ensnared by the island''s past, they realise its wild beauty hides an altogether uglier and sinister truth.
