WEDNESDAY 4TH MARCH, 2.00PM
THE LINLITHGOW BURGH HALLS
S.G. Maclean is coming to Linlithgow! We're pleased to welcome the author of The Bookseller of Inverness, the Seeker novels and her latest historical thriller, The Cromarty Library Circle.
Shona Maclean has been one of Scotland's best-selling authors for nearly a decade with her blend of history and thriller, always choosing episodes from Scotland's past that are full of intrigue.
The Cromarty Library Circle is the unforgettable story of a Scottish town on the cusp of change and the group of townspeople whose lives will be irrevocably altered over the course of one tumultuous year.
SYNOPSIS
"Cromarty, The Black Isle, 1831. As seagulls shriek and rise on the coastal winds, a circulating library in the bustling port town of Cromarty is meeting for the first time.
Ostensibly united by a love of books, the demands of social convention have brought together a disparate group of people. Charlotte Mackenzie, the remote and fragile wife of the local laird, seeks an escape from a loveless marriage; her best friend, Rachel Mackay, a former governess who is ardently in love with her own older husband, the town's minister; the young schoolmaster, John Learmonth, newly arrived from Edinburgh with secrets in tow; and the gentle bank clerk, Ludovic Cameron who dreams of a new life across the ocean, far from his erstwhile schoolmate, the malevolent Farquhar Hossack. When the laird befriends a wounded officer, a chain of events is set into motion that threatens to upset the delicate equilibrium of the community."
TICKETS £10, includes discounted book sales at the event.
