But Rowan's headed not for distant shores but back to Scotland, trailing scandal in her wake. Soon Rowan begins to see that home could be where she’ll find what she’s been looking for all along.

'Dewar's gift is to pull you into the minutiae of her people's lives. She takes you on a journey with them, a voyage you are happy to share in. Few writers are so good at making the reader empathise... Rowan is a delight' Scotland on Sunday

'This is something very special indeed. Astute, poignant and addictive, with shades of Kate Atkinson, and full of lovely observations on human nature. Isla cares for her characters and so do we. Highly recommended.' The Bookseller
