About the Ebook
In the summer of 1978, young Colin Quinn spends time on South Uist with his uncle, Dr Ruairidh Gillies. As Scotland's World Cup hopes in Argentina stir the nation, Colin and Ruairidh forge a deeper bond amidst the beauty, isolation and rich storytelling of the Outer Hebrides. But, as the days pass, a dark cloud gathers over this idyllic summer and the local folklore capturing Colin's attention begins to hold a sobering mirror to the present. A Summer Like No Other is a moving exploration of family, connection, and the haunting forces that shape our lives.
