Two novels with a strong sense of history, nature and power of traditional
storytelling.
James Robertson - News
of the Dead
Deep in the mountains of north-east
Scotland lies Glen Conach, a place of secrets and memories, fable and history.
In particular, it holds the stories of three different eras, separated by
centuries yet linked by location, by an ancient manuscript and by echoes that
travel across time.
In ancient Pictland, the Christian hermit Conach
contemplates God and nature, generations later, in the early nineteenth
century, self-promoting antiquarian Charles Kirkliston Gibb is drawn to the
Glen, and in the present day, young Lachie whispers to Maja of a ghost he
thinks he has seen.
Merryn Glover - Of Stone and Sky
After Highland shepherd Colvin Munro disappears, a
mysterious trail of his possessions is found in the Cairngorm mountains.
Writing the eulogy for his memorial years later, his foundling-sister Mo seeks
to discover why he vanished. Younger brother Sorley is also haunted by his
absence and driven to reveal the forces that led to Colvin’s disappearance. Is
their brother alive or dead?
Set on a farming estate in the upper reaches of the River
Spey, Of
Stone and Sky follows several generations of a shepherding
family in a paean to the bonds between people, their land and way of life. It
is a profound mystery, a passionate poem, a political manifesto, shot through
with wisdom and humour.
