Description: Few landscapes in the British Isles are as iconic as the islands that lie off the north-western Scottish coast. Over a period of six years, Madeleine Bunting returned again and again to the Hebrides, exploring their landscapes, histories and magnetic pull. With great sensitivity and perceptiveness, 'Love of Country' delves into the meanings of home and belonging, which in these islands have been fraught with tragedy as well as tenacious resistance.
