Maybe it had just been a matter of time: had we had more time, what we would or could have achieved, together. Had we actually met that first time round, how different things might have been. The world we would have painted. Had we really loved each other, we would never have separated.
It was a long hot summer… A chance encounter on a ferry leads to a lifetime of regret for misplaced opportunities.
Beautifully written and vividly evoked, The Girl on the Ferryboat is a mirage of recollections looking back to the haze of one final prelapsarian summer on the Isle of Mull.
'exceptionally good novel. It is among the best pieces of narrative literary fiction to have emerged from Scotland in the 21st century, in any language.' 'an extraordinary achievement, by the increasingly excellent and advernturous Luath Press...and by Angus Peter himself' 'beautifully written' '[can] be read simply as a love story' 'the gorgeous bittersweet tone' REVIEW ON BOOKS
