The Sea for Breakfast - Lillian Beckwith

Hi All,

I am aware we had planned to read The Cromarty Library Circle by Shona Maclean. I was about to post it and realised that the Paperback edition will only be released in October 2026.

I have decided to read The Sea for Breakfast together after a friend recommended the book to me.

Lillian Beckwith's settling in on the island of Bruach and having a croft of her own, is the basis of these comic adventures. Adapting to a totally different way of life provides many excuses for humour and the eccentric cast of characters guarantees there is never a dull moment on Bruach. In one story beachcombing yields a strange find. In another a Christmas party results in a riotous night's celebrations.

I am sure it will be a great summer read, probably perfect for a windy trip on a ferry or an escape to one of the magical Scottish islands.

If you Google it you will be able to find several different (and cheap) purchase options.
