Synopsis

What does it take to preserve the past? What will it cost to protect the future? Follow the echoes through time and find out...

The compelling and heartbreaking historical mystery debut from Lee-Anne McAulay.

Set in the sweeping landscape of central Scotland against the backdrop of the 1715 Jacobite uprising. Jeannie Kellie and Mairead Erskine are caught in a desperate battle to survive.

In the present Hazel Rankin and Dr Lauren McDonald begin a project at Alloa Tower connecting people to the lives of those in the past. When a body is discovered, the women soon discover that shadows from their own pasts have resurfaced with it.

United by a desire to save historic sites from mothballs or developers Hazel and Lauren search for the stories of ordinary people in extraordinary times. It soon becomes clear that not everybody wants them to succeed. The discovery of the body brings the project to a standstill and their funding is threatened. Determined to make their project a success they follow the threads of the mystery and what they discover holds deep echoes of their own lives.

In 1715 Mairead Erskine arrives at the tower as her husband is given command of the Erskine family seat of power. Feeling the pressure to prove her worth Mairead clashes with healer and midwife Jeannie Kellie. When their Laird turns his coat and leads an uprising to overthrow King George the women find themselves in path of the coming war. Thrown together they work to keep the inhabitants of the tower safe and well, risking everything for those in their care. When the tower falls they soon realise that neither a family name nor skill as a healer will keep them safe from the redcoat soldiers.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Lee-Anne McAulay writes historical fiction set in the beguiling landscape of Scotland. Her debut novel, a dual timeline mystery, has been described as "a love letter to Scotland and her strong women".

Living and working in central Scotland Lee-Anne shares her home with her husband, two children and four cats. As traditionalist at heart, she writes her first drafts at a vintage bureau with a fountain pen. A love of stories led her to an English Degree and an eighteen year (and counting...) career as a teacher. When not wielding her pen Lee-Anne enjoys reading (preferably with a pot of tea and a slice of cake) and exploring the many historic sites around her.
