Island of wings / Karin Altenberg. by Altenberg, Karin. Anansi International, c2011. Call #: FICTION ALT Subjects Mackenzie, Neil, 1796-1879 -- Fiction.   Mackenzie, Lizzie -- Fiction.   Coping with hardship -- Fiction.   Spouses of clergy -- Fiction.   Pregnant women -- Fiction.   Rural clergy -- Fiction.   Saint Kilda (Scotland) -- History -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781770890121 (trade pbk.) Description:  311 p. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "July, 1830. On the ten-hour sail west from the Hebrides to the islands of St. Kilda, everything lies ahead for Lizzie and Neil McKenzie. Neil is to become the minister to the small community of islanders, and Lizzie, his new wife, is pregnant with their first child. As the two adjust to life on an exposed archipelago on the edge of civilization, where the natives live in squalor and subsist on a diet of seabirds, and babies perish mysteriously in their first week, their marriage -- and their sanity -- is threatened. Is Lizzie a wilful temptress drawing him away from his faith? Is Neil's zealous Christianity unhinging into madness? And who, or what, is haunting the moors and cliff-tops? Exquisitely written and profoundly moving, Island of Wings is a richly imagined novel about two people struggling to keep their love, and their family, alive in a place of terrible hardship and tumultuous beauty."--Publisher.
