20 years ago it happened to Adam Nicolson he inherited the Shiants, 3 lonely islands set in a dangerous sea 5 miles off Lewis; only a stone bothy for accommodation – and one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
A world of hermits and stories, of birds and boats, of fisherman and sheep, 'Sea Room' is these islands' story, written with passion and poetry – a celebration for us all of island life.

What a beautifully written book. Adam has given a great insight into life in the islands - worth doing before memories are forgotten. He obviously loves the islands with a passion.

The Shack by William P Young
Mackenzie Allen Philips' youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, still trapped in his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack.
Against his better judgement he arrives at the shack on a wintery afternoon and faces up to his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever.
In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant, THE SHACK wrestles with the timeless question, 'Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?' The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book!
WOW what an amazing read. Very well written, inventive concept. Did it happen or was it in Mack's dreams? I would certainly like to think that it was true.

Great book. I couldn't put it down. Not sure about the ending though - I leave that up to you.
