Love and Loss in World War II: The Lost Lights of St Kilda

In 1940, the thoughts of a captured prisoner of war return to the isolated Scottish island of St Kilda – where he once took a summer job – and to the island woman he can’t forget. Alice Loxton talks to novelist Elisabeth Gifford about her new book The Lost Lights of St Kilda, a moving portrait of two lovers, a desolate island and the extraordinary power of hope in the face of darkness.  Hosted on Acast.
