DESCRIPTION:
From the tiny southern island of Barra to the largest and most northern island of Lewis, travel the storm-whipped North Atlantic scenery with May as he once again strolls the wild and breathtaking countryside that gave birth to his masterful trilogy of novels.. Since the publication of The Blackhouse in 2011, the books of Peter May's groundbreaking Lewis Trilogy have enthralled millions of readers around the world with powerfully evocative descriptions of the Outer Hebrides.From its peat bogs and heather-coated hills, from its weather-beaten churches and crofters cottages to its cold clear rills choked with rainwater, the islands off the northwest coast of Scotland have been brought to vivid life by this accomplished novelist.Now, Peter May and photographer David Wilson present a photographic record of the countless locations around the Hebridean archipelago that so inspired May when he was bringing the islands of detective Fin McLeod's childhood to the page
Gorgeous photos; interesting text A. Bublitz I have read all three of Peter May's novels set in the Hebrides, so it was great to see photos of the areas that inspired the books. The first chapter gives some geological and social history of the islands. The next four chapters describe May's history with the islands and the settings for the three books, respectively. I am not sure how interesting the text will be to those unfamiliar with Peter May's work or novels, but the photos are fantasti. Amazing photos! florida Actually I'd like to say this is a very overpriced, terrible book with lousy pictures just so you won't be tempted to travel to the Hebrides! In fact it's an amazing book filled with photos that will make you want to pack your bags. If you don't mind some cool weather and a gentle mist you should go see where these photos were taken yourself. My wife didn't want to go but did anyway. Now it's the only place she wants to go so this summer we're go. Breathtaking beauty The author of the Lewis Trilogy of suspense novels set in the Outer Hebrides takes you on a tour of the very places featured in the stories. Even without knowing the connections, one is transported through the eyes of a professional photographer to a magical and haunting landscape most of us will never see but yearn to because of its remoteness and ethereal beauty.
"Spectacular celebrates the landscape of the islands."
