About this ebook
One hot summer, an island which is practically empty except for twitchers, becomes a bustling community of tourists, archaeologists, nuns, dolphin-watchers, a reality TV crew and two writers bursting to tell a story. This is a black comedy about spies, privacy and intrusion ... and how the most important things happen off-camera. First published October 2008.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Beautifully written and funny, it's set in summer on Bardsey Island, and involves nuns on their annual hermit conference, sex (not the nuns), a possible murder, sunshine, saints and archaeology - what more could you want from a book? Flipping marvellous!
