About This Book

A rural household and its croft are depicted against splendid lakeside scenery while economic decline and poor management drive the family into debt and the sale of their ancestral land. The story traces the lives and relationships that follow: young people from the croft and farm, courtships and a marriage, the arrival of a new proprietor, episodes of loss and communal celebrations, and the ruin brought by a prodigal figure. Themes include the tensions between pride of place, habit and industriousness, and the social consequences of financial failure.
