Summary
It's 1943, and the war has brought rationing to the Hebridean Islands of Great and Little Todday. When food is in short supply, it is bad enough, but when the whisky runs out, it looks like the end of the world. Morale is at rock bottom.
George Campbell needs a wee dram to give him the courage to stand up to his mother and marry Catriona. The priest, the doctor and, of course, the landlord at the inn are all having a very thin time of it.
There's no conversation, no jollity, no fun - until a ship-wreck off the coast brings a piece of extraordinary good fortune.

Unexpected gem
Thoroughly enjoyable reading of a classic tale. David Rintoul does a superb job of keeping all the charactes sounding slightly different so you can pick out all the personalaties as the book progresses. Excellently done.

What a great performance of a classic
It is a superb story. Very funny and generally enjoyable. David Rintoul does the text justice with an excellent performance. He copes incredibly well with the array of characters and really brings them to life.
I heartily recommend this to anyone who enjoys a light-hearted and amusing listen.

Good insight into the ways of the Isles.
Easy listen, and a humorous story line, you can imagine how all all the characters lead their lives.

Like a good whisky it revives one's spirits
As a whisky aficionado, this story has always appealed to me. What could be better than having access to 50,000 cases of best Scotch whisky for free? This is plain and simple a good tale, gently humorous and well told. David Rintoul reads it well, giving a flavour of the Scottish island dialect without going overboard. It reminds me of family holidays on the Outer Hebrides, where the Sabbath was still strictly observed and the sense of community was very strong. Well worth a listen!

Lovely lovely lovely!
An absolute delight. The story, the Hebridean feel, the superb narration.
David Rintoul sails seamlessly from an Oxford English to a Island lilt, the expressive yet elegant narration tone, everything is a wonder for your ears.
