Inhaltsangabe

The Isle of Enniskerry begins with an uninhabited island, a millionaire, and the chance for fifty assorted people to begin a new life. When Jim Henderson wins over five million pounds on the lottery he decides to buy an uninhabited Scottish island and establish a self-supporting community. A young widower, he needs to start his life again away from the city, searching for - and finding - a new meaning for his existence. This new life consists of building or renovating crofts and building a community from scratch. Gradually and democratically the island moves into tourism and a money-based economy. The number of inhabitants doubles and few leave - it is undoubtedly a success. Mixing practicalities with romance, adventure and humour, Culling makes the reader feel they are actually there, going back to a simpler life and leaving behind the stresses of the twenty-first century.
