Rose Leonard is on the run from her life. Taking refuge in a remote island community, she cocoons herself in work, silence and solitude in a house by the sea. But she is haunted by her past, by memories and desires she'd hoped were long dead. Life and love are offered by new friends, her lonely daughter, and most of all Calum, a fragile younger man who has his own demons to exorcise.

But does Rose, with her tenuous hold on life and sanity, have the courage to say yes to life and put her past behind her?...

Evaluation Of Books Emotional Geology

I read this tale by Linda Gillard thanks to some impressive bibliovangelizing by Angie at Angieville. I downloaded it onto my Kindle ($.99!) and started reading away.Rose had a passionate love affair with Gavin that ended badly five years ago. Very badly. And it caused a serious rift with her now-grown daughter, Megan, too. Now she is trying to put her life back together on a remote island of Scotland. She's determined to live a quiet, solitary, and sane life, until she meets the handsome poet

Just two weeks ago I reviewed Linda Gillard's most recent novel Star Gazing. Though I had somewhat mixed feelings on the ending, I loved the writing and the characters so very much that I was absolutely set on tracking down a copy of Gillard's first book EMOTIONAL GEOLOGY. Unfortunately, it's not readily available on this side of the pond and, the Ville funds being what they are, I wasn't sure just how soon I'd be able to procure a copy. Then what should happen but the very kind Ms. Gillard

It doesn't seem quite right to list this wonderful and sensitive book under just general fiction as Ms Gillard shows such insight into matters of mental illness and quite simply human frailty. In this it is a beautiful novel touching on real life and the extremes of anguish which are sometimes suffered. However don't think from this that it is a depressing novel, it certainly is not.

In an attempt to leave her home, her family, her friends and all shes ever known behind, Rose Leonard wakes up to the sounds of the sea and wind on the small, desolate Scottish isle of North Uist. Perhaps getting this far away is the only way she can stay sane, stay healthy, and focus on her need to create with minimal medication. She isnt lonely yet; in fact she has already befriended the watchful and caring neighboring family. Shona McAskill, her congenial drinking husband Donald and her brood

Months ago I read a wonderful book called Star Gazing. Its author, Linda Gillard, lives on an island off Scotland and I soon became FB friends with her. Recently I learned she had a few copies left of her earlier book, Emotional Geology, so I bought one. I don't know how many U.S. readers are familiar with Gillard's work, but I would encourage anyone who likes a deep love story (as opposed to what we all call romance) to find either of these books and read them.Warning though, Emotional Geology

I shouldnt like this book: its a love story and I am a cynical bloke that detests sentimentality. But I loved it. I loved the setting on Uist in the Hebrides; I loved the structure with its varying points of view; I loved the themes especially the interplay between poetry and textile art; I loved the way we gradually learned more about the two main characters, including Roses bipolar condition and the reason Calum drank so much; I loved the interspersing of poems and letters and the lyrical
