Plot summary
Nightmares keep returning to Eric Black, a widower, after his pregnant wife Rachel dies. A newspaper advertisement offers work as a shepherd on a distant island in the Scottish Highlands, and he takes it. On the way he stops at the house where he grew up, and Glenys, his estranged mother, blames his father's death on his decision to leave the family for Rachel. After they argue, he throws the wedding ring into a lake. Fisher, whose sight is poor, ferries him and his Border Collie Baxter to the island with a journal for his thoughts.
