In 2002, following the collapse of his business and the loss of a much-loved family home, Michael Faulkner and his artist wife Lynn McGregor (www.lynnmcgregor.co.uk) left Scotland for a cabin on Islandmore, an uninhabited island on Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland.
With no mains electricity, an erratic water supply and access to the mainland only by boat, life in The Blue Cabin is one part catastrophe - storms, broken generators, escaping dinghies - to three parts idyll.
The result is an honest, often funny, and moving account of disruption and discovery; of mutual reliance, steep learning curves and the importance of place.
