Clear, Davies - B

                 In 1843 Scotland, an impoverished Presbyterian minister is hired to go to a remote Shetland island and evict the sole occupant. John Ferguson is shipwrecked on the shore of his destination and saved by Ivar, the island's last occupant who speaks an obsolete Norn language. As John recovers thanks to Ivar's ministrations, they slowly become friends. It takes a while, but Ivar eventually realizes that John could only be here on a mission from the laird, who Ivar hasn't seen in years. The men become close and closer, and John dreads what he has to do, but his wife, Mary, arrives, sees how close they are and offers to take Ivar in with them. An interesting and very different story.
