OVERVIEW:
A romantic and melodramatic love story set in the Outer Hebrides in the late eighteenth century and involving the fate of the famous Loch Arkaig treasure that disappeared in the aftermath of the 1745 Jacobite Rising.
Neil Munro's skilful characterisation and artful storytelling create a deeply sensitive parable or fable on the destrictiveness of human greed and the vengefulness of the sea.
The story is steeped in Gaelic mythology and scattered with authentic landscape and coastline details of Barra, Uist and Mingulay, scene of the novel's dreadful climax.
By the author of "Para Handy" and with an introduction by Ronald Renton.
