Summary
"In this memoir, Christina Hall writes with sharp observation about her childhood on the Hebridean island of South Uist in the 1940s and 1950s. Humour and anguish reflect the spirit of a girl living through a time of dramatic change in her life, her family and the land that she loves. Beginning with her earliest memories, the book recounts her life up to the end of secondary school and is set in Uist, Benbecula, Barra and Fort William." "While it is fundamentally her story, To the Edge of the Sea is also interwoven with the culture, characters and events of the islands from that time."--Jacket.
