Her life a blur of one-night stands and ensuing hangovers, Clare Somerville has taken a long hard look at herself, and doesn't like what she sees. Tired of the ebb and flow of the nameless faces visiting the hotel of which she's a partner. Clare heads for the Scottish Highlands, knowing only that she must break clear from her past and start afresh.The isolated cottage on the sea-loch's shore seems wholly unsuitable for her. The difficulities of adapting to the lonely, self-sufficient existence are daunting. But the Larach, the primitive cottage she comes to love, and the warmth of the people she encounters, soon give Clare hope for the future.
