As his neighbours gather for Jo and Ryan's house warming, Sandy wrestles with his emotions. Read by Steven Robertson.

As his neighbours gather for Jo and Ryan's house warming, Sandy wrestles with powerful feelings.

Malachy Tallack's debut novel is a quiet yet powerful study of contemporary rural Scotland that asks what remains when a way of life vanishes.

Set on the rugged west coast of Shetland, in a community only ever a few steps away from extinction, Tallack's novel tackles big questions about land, inheritance and belonging without ever losing sight of the humanity and integrity of its characters.

Concluded by Steven Robertson.

Omnibus of the last five of ten parts abridged by Robin Brooks.
