It is a story is full of vibrancy, life and colourful Hebridean characters. Uist in the 1950s and '60s was a far different island to that which we know now. Causeways and roads had not yet been built; life was often harsh and punctuated by the reality of being sent away from home for secondary and higher education: 'years in exile...all to fulfil my ambition of becoming a teacher in an island school.' It was during this period the army arrived on Benbecula and it was through them that Christina met her future husband. While he was on St Kilda, she was appointed to a post in Glasgow. It was time to leave the island, though she knew she knew that 'whatever the future might bring I could always come back - back to the croft, back to the family and back to the island'.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49554556453137,"sku":"GOR002926726","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53449726624017,"sku":"GOR004816641","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841581828.jpg?v=1751424831"},{"product_id":"road-to-glen-spean-book-christina-hall-9781841584348","title":"The Road to Glen Spean","description":"Her husband's career as an English soldier takes her away from her beloved home, first to the west of England and then further afield, to the tropical climates of Malaysia and Singapore, where the young teacher suddenly finds herself living a luxurious existence as a glamorous army wife. As her husband is offered a variety of exotic posts, Christina finds herself lugging her young family and assorted dogs across the globe, embracing different locations and cultures, moving from the Far East, to Wales and then out to South Africa, where apartheid is still firmly established. Through all these experiences, Christina maintains strong links with her family, and never loses her wry, clear outlook which she developed growing up on South Uist. Upon retirement she returned home to the Scottish Highlands, having lived and visited most places in the world, and happy to be back in the best.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49556577616145,"sku":"GOR002743667","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50794716692753,"sku":"GOR014075527","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50840299372817,"sku":"GOR000948176","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841584347.jpg?v=1751436858"},{"product_id":"tales-from-an-island-book-christina-hall-9781912476312","title":"Tales From an Island","description":"In this enchanting and moving memoir, Christina Hall writes with sharp observation about her childhood on the Hebridean island of South  Uist in the 1940s and 50s. Humour and anguish reflect the spirit of a girl living through a time of dramatic change in her life, her family and  the land that she loves. Beginning with her earliest memories, the book recounts her life up to the end of secondary school and is set in Uist,  Benbecula, Barra and Fort William.  As a sequel to ‘To the Edge of the Sea’, ‘Twice Around the Bay’ follows Christina Hall’s story during her time at teacher training college in  Glasgow and her return to the Hebrides, where she became the primary school teacher at South Glendale on her native island of South Uist.  It is a story full of vibrancy, life and colourful Hebridean characters which recaptures with crystal clarity the joys and hardships of island life in  the late 1950s and 1960s. It was during this period that the army arrived on Benbecula, and it was through them that Christina met a young  English soldier. The book ends with their wedding, with faith in the future and the realisation that wherever that future might lead, the island of  Christina’s birth would always be part of her.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49568032686353,"sku":"GOR009800597","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50136123769105,"sku":"GOR013867351","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1912476312.jpg?v=1751428310"},{"product_id":"health-healing-hope-a-journey-to-spiritual-and-physical-wellness-book-christina-hall-9781304162519","title":"Health, Healing \u0026 Hope:  A Journey to Spiritual and Physical Wellness","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52100205969681,"sku":"CIN1304162516VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781304162519.jpg?v=1757088774"},{"product_id":"to-the-edge-of-the-sea-book-christina-hall-9780753194577","title":"To The Edge Of The Sea","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53429190033681,"sku":"GOR009660032","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780753194577.jpg?v=1776405523"},{"product_id":"healthier-living-naturally-health-and-wellness-guide-book-christina-hall-9781312180437","title":"Healthier Living Naturally: Health and Wellness Guide","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53623091200273,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53623091364113,"sku":"NIN9781312180437","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781312180437.jpg?v=1780623654"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-christina-hall.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
