Wild Harbour by Ian Macpherson tells of the world destroyed by a future war, forebodings of which were already discernible in Europe. A young couple must live their lives in the wild Scottish highlands when war overtakes their home. Excerpt: “THIS MORNING I said to Terry, 'I thought I heard guns through the night.' 'Were you awake too?' she asked. Even before she spoke, as soon as the words were out of my mouth I was sorry I spoke, and hastened to say: 'That was funny, both of us lying quiet not to disturb the other.' I knew by the way she looked at me that she was not deceived.”
