Close Knit A Novel by Jenny Colgan

From beloved New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan comes a heartwarming and romantic summer novel set in Scotland’s windswept Northern isles. Follow Gertie MacIntyre on a journey of self-discovery and love in this delightful tale.

In the remote northern reaches of Scotland, where a string of small islands stretch towards Norway, Gertie MacIntyre lives a life steeped in tradition and community. Known for her close-knit circle of friends and family, especially the women in her knitting group, Gertie finds solace and connection in their shared stories and laughter during the long, dark winters.

But Gertie is more than just a skilled knitter—she’s a young woman with dreams beyond her small island home. When she develops a crush on Callum Frost, the owner of the local airline, she decides to take a bold leap. For the first time, she dares to step out of her comfort zone and takes a job as an air stewardess on a tiny sixteen-seat plane that connects the islands.

Though initially terrified, Gertie quickly discovers a newfound sense of freedom and adventure as she soars above the rugged landscapes she’s always known. With each flight, she contemplates her future and whether the skies might hold the key to her happiness—or if she needs to seek new horizons to truly find the adventure she’s yearning for.

In this charming and uplifting novel, Colgan beautifully weaves a story of courage, romance, and the quest for self-discovery against the stunning backdrop of Scotland’s Northern isles. ❤️📚❤️
