Shh, you have to be quiet and whisper. After the success of his first book Silent (now out of print), Keith Allardyce returned to Orkney in search of more peaceful places and structures. He managed to find them and the result is this wonderful collection of Orcadian images, portraying the quietness of island life and locations.
Tom Muir writes colourfully again, uncovering stories and tales to further enhance Keith’s atmospheric, noiseless portraits.
Shh, and enjoy this second silence.
