Read of the life story of Maggie McBain, born in Scotland in 1869 and sent to live with her godparents at the age of four on the Isle of Skye. Her widowed mother must work to her living and is unable to raise her only daughter Maggie. Maggie's father has been lost at sea on a whaling vessel soon after Maggie's birth. The mystical stories and beliefs of the island make Maggie a strong character, a young woman wise beyond her years as she leaves Skye at sixteen to be with her mum Jane in Glasgow. Working in a tea room with the indefatigable Molly Grant, her employer, presents Maggie with even more of her earlier earnest work ethic while she enjoys the company of Molly's shipbuilding sons. Mum Jane and Maggie live in rooms over a bookshop where Jane is employed. The locals and history of this area are thoroughly researched and the author tries to give an accurate account of them in as much as fiction can convey. Maggie and Jane travel to Canada, Halifax to be accurate, so that Maggie can pursue her college education there after her one year in Glasgow. Here she meets, quite by accident, the man of her dreams when John Dix, a whaling captain, fourteen years Maggie's senior becomes enamored of her beauty and her lovely demeanor, yet her invincible character. A portion of this novel takes place upon the North Sea when Maggie convinces John to take her on his sailing vessel Gratitude for eight adventurous months in search of the mighty whales. Many stories are intertwined here giving a fast moving ride and a great trip for the reader. Maggie is a woman difficult to forget because of her strength of character and thus combined with their beautiful love story it makes 'The Little Summer of St. Luke', a novel, understandably all powerful. DDC.
