‘St Kilda Dreaming’ is an exciting and highly atmospheric novel chronicling the resettlement of an abandoned island community. The settlers soon discover their best intentions lead mostly to personal hell.
The Williams family arrive at St Kilda to build a better life. Their enthusiasm is tested to the limit as spirits of the island’s troubled past trigger family breakdown, madness, and murder. The settlers realise, too late, that water drunk from the village well is changing their dream into a living nightmare. The surviving family members evacuate leaving only the devious and incestuously pregnant Agatha to repopulate the island.
Paul Sharman was born in Birmingham in 1952. He is a contributing author to ‘Sacred Sites and Species’ (Cambridge University Press, 2012). ‘St Kilda Dreaming’ is his first novel. Paul is currently working on a sequel, which draws again on his understanding of how people are influenced by landscape. Following a career in environmental conservation, Paul was awarded a PhD in Human Geography in 2008. He worked as Ranger Naturalist for St Kilda for seven years and is now retired and lives in Devon.
