The Blackhouse
by Peter May
Going back to your roots is not always a good experience.
Guga Summer
Two young boys discover love. Both hoping to win the girl, they remain unaware that their actions will climax in a flurry of lust, lies, betrayal and disappointment. As their last summer on the island draws to a close, only the danger and horrors of the Guga hunt occupies their minds.
Risking their lives to cull the Gannets to produce the delicacy of the island, Gigs McAuley and his men make their journey. A rock 50 miles out into the ocean is their destination, with no escape until the task is complete and the seas relent. As family secrets surface, tensions run high and they return with knowledge of events that will bind them forever.
