Electricity brings us back to an upbringing<br />
we may not have experienced but can<br />
certainly relate to.<br />
Taking a step back into her Hebridean childhood, Granny writes to her granddaughter<br />
in Australia, decorating her notebooks with hand-drawn scribbles and doodles.<br />
Though she may now live in Edinburgh, she relives her memories with a sense of<br />
warmth and protection.<br />
Yet, it is more than simple nostalgia. At its core, Electricity is about community, and<br />
what it is to involve it in your life fully. Electricity itself sparked across the Hebrides<br />
and changed the lives of its people forever. You become more than your family,<br />
friends, or even neighbours. The landscape itself floods into your DNA. It is something<br />
that you will never separate from.<br />
It is not only popular with Scots but those who long for the simpler times they grew<br />
up in - times when we were more physically connected.<br />
What’s evoked here is a powerful sense of what it was, and is, to grow up amid<br />
family, neighbours and surroundings of a sort providing, for the most part, both<br />
security and happiness.<br />

A book filled with the joy of being alive. This would be my desert island choice!<br />
FR COLLIN MACINNES<br />
It reads beautifully, drawing you in slowly until it dawns on you that you’re<br />
hooked. A book which is as much an act of reverence as a work of fiction.<br />
