“This is an extraordinary book, set in a remote part of early 19th century Lowland Scotland. What is most extraordinary is the cliché-ridden and sexist showing of some of the male characters: violent, selfish, coarse and lusty. The women endure such behaviour in subservient positions.” Geoffrey Harfield for the Historical Novel Society
Remote southwest Scotland, early nineteenth century.
Seventeen-year-old Janet Scott loves books and learning, and is happy living at the schoolhouse where her grandfather is the master.
But when tragedy strikes, and her grandfather dies suddenly, everything changes.
Now an orphan, she is sent to work for brutish farmer, Wull Foster. Life with no one to protect her is tough, and Janet experiences first-hand the dangers which can befall a young woman.
So when Josiah Saunders — an old friend of her grandfather’s — takes her in, they both relish the companionship.
BUT THINGS CANNOT STAY THIS WAY FOREVER.
Janet is forced to choose between her love for penniless lawyers’ clerk, Fingal McLauchlan, or Josiah, who offers her marriage and security.

Perfect for fans of Marian Keyes, Kate Thompson, Kate Blackadder, Beth Andrews, Louise Allen, Theresa Le Flem, Rosemary Gemmell, Jodi Taylor, Nadine Dorries, Tania Crosse and Dilly Court.
