A former schoolteacher who went to live on Bruach, an island in the Hebrides, for a rest cure, wrote this entertaining yearn. She did not get much rest, but if laughter is indeed the best medicine, she must have been cured. Many of her more hilarious adventures and experiences resulted from the cultural and language differences between the people of Bruach and the English writer. Miss Beckwith's, or as she was called by Bruachites, Miss Peckwit's stories are often earthy, but seem likely to appeal to a broad audience.
