Faraway by Lucy Irvine
With her three sons, Lucy Irvine went to live for a year on remote Pigeon Island in the Solomons. The invitation had come from an intrepid 80 year-old, Diana Hepworth, who, in 1947, set sail from England to find a faraway paradise where she and her husband Tom could raise a family.
