Riduna

Harriet and Edward, both only children, are brought up together on the small, beautiful island of Riduna, the ancient name for Alderney. Their relationship changes as they grow into adulthood and not only do they have to face the problem of falling in love on an island governed by the strict moral rules of the late nineteenth century, but also a realisation that they have conflicting desires for the future. Edwards dream has always been to travel and he sets sail, joining a ship for faraway places and leaves her waiting for him at home. Moment by moment the peaceful, unchanging life on the island gives way to a wider world as tragedy, poor communications and changing life expectations all play a role in their destiny. See more
