set between Scotland and Newfoundland, from the author of Waterstones Scottish Book of
the Year The House Between Tides. 1940: Wounded in action, Archie Maxwell returns to his Scottish family estate of Rosslie. But
between the uneasy company of his father's new wife, and the nightmares that haunt him, he finds
the house more of a battleground than a refuge.
1980: Journalist Eva Bayne arrives at Rosslie looking for a story. Since Archie's disappearance forty
years ago, the Maxwells have lived in the shadows - and Eva is drawn to their mystery. Especially
when a glimpse of a photograph stirs up long-buried memories of her childhood in Newfoundland . |
