Autumn gales sweep the rocky island of Guernsey and rattle the trees behind Colomberie Farm, where the crâsset lamp is lit beside a wide hearth. The story follows an island girl at work among the tides, cutting vraic from the rocks with her sickle, and the loves and losses of a farming and fishing people at the edge of the sea.
