In Close Knit

‘Gertie has always had her head in the clouds, wondering what her life might be like if she could only pluck up the courage to leave the remote Scottish island where she was born.’

In Close Knit, Jenny Colgan returns to the remote Scottish Island of Carso where the pilot for the local airline is Morag, who stopped flying long haul to return home in Summer Skies. Unlike Morag, Gertie has never had the courage to leave the island where she was born. It’s the only place she knows, but she can’t do anything without everyone knowing. Especially as she lives in a tiny cottage with her mother and grandmother who are the women at the heart of the local Knitting Circle; a group of strong, capable women who work hard, gossip, knit – and support each other through thick and thin.

Jenny will be in discussion with Hannah Moore.
