## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Really well researched and told
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 June 2020*

A well researched and well told story that situates the almost hapless and arrogant Lord Leverhulme within a set of historical circumstances and people that were not prepared to bow down to his great plan after buying Lewis and then Harris. A set of circumstances that now resonate with current Land Reform debates in Scotland.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fascinating place, interesting book
  

*by G***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 April 2018*

I go through phases of reading non-fiction and it's usually about a subject or place that interests me - in this case, I visited the location for The Soap Man a few years ago and had heard a little of the story but wanted to know more...The book starts with a brief introduction to the life-story of William Lever, who would later become Lord Leverhulme, a self-made industrialist who made his money mostly from soap. His company would later go on to be part of the multi-national conglomerate Unilever. After setting up a model factory and village in the middle of a marsh in Lancashire, which he called Port Sunlight, Lever found himself with the opportunity of buying the entire Hebridean island of Lewis (and later its neighbour, Harris), the economy of which he believed he could revolutionise.As long, of course, as the people of Lewis did what he wanted and, for a number of reasons, they were not inclined to do so. Lever had bought the island but he'd inherited a bunch of historic issues around land ownership, as previous lairds had spent money on deer and grouse while the island's inhabitants wanted land for crofting. All of this was happening around the time of World War I and the returning servicemen were even less likely to go along with what Lever was proposing.All in all, I found 'The Soap Man' an interesting example of that old adage about the irresistible force and the immovable object, with Lever as a man who was unable to see that he was half the author of his own problems with the people whose lives he wanted to up-end.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Important aspect of island history.
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2020*

I enjoyed this account of an important period in the history of Lewis and Harris. I learned a lot about the events and how they affected the population of these islands in the crucial years after World War One.
