Wonderful Book!

I loved this book! It gives the reader a wonderful taste of the wilds of Scotland and of "croft life." I like to imagine living like this. Though this book tends to jump around, that makes it more interesting. It is a perfect gift for the animal or nature lover: the descriptions of the landscape and Rowena's relationship with the animals she cares for are beautiful and touching.

this is my most treasured book !

I came across Seal Morning many years ago, even then I had it with me for a long time before I read it. I found it by fate, when I was going through old unused lockers in my old school. I didn't know why I kept it but after DEFINITELY more than 2 yrs then was I compelled to read it. It is a book that brought joy & sadness all the same. It appeals to all of us who love animals. The way it was written without any chronological contraint, is refreshing. It comes across as an account, or maybe as a documentation but rarely is it anonymous as there're many poignant moments Rowena shares with us. Her animals were her friends & she was theirs, & in the solitude of the hills this couldn't be more true !!
