An Island Apart

A book that felt like it was set 200 years ago, but probably takes place only in the 1950's--however, the feel of it is very very old and timeless.
It is a very short novel about a "spinster" Kirsty has been working in a guest house for 30 years in the "town" and meets Ruari, a 45 year old batchelor who takes her as his wife to live on a deserted Westisle in a croft with only his brother for company.

An occasionally awkwardly written short novel of a woman who marries unexpectedly and goes to live on a small Scottish island with her husband and his dour brother-in-law.
