- "Kirsty MacLennan is the cook-general at 'Islay', a respectable guest-house in a Scottish suburb. When her kindly employer retires, and the fractious Isabel takes her place, Kirsty decides it is time to leave; but where shall she go? Her dilemma is solved by one of the guests, Islander Ruari MacDonald, who has come to the city to seek a bride. Kirsty accepts his proposal and takes up residence in the crofthouse on Westisle, an idyllic small island uninhabited but for the brothers MacDonald. Kirsty joyfully rediscovers her Hebridean roots, and adapts herself to married life and the challenge of a rigorous, new working routine. Only one thing stands in her way; the silent, brooding presence of her brother-in-law."@en
