THE QUEEN OF SCOTTISH SAGAS

A sweeping story of two sisters' journey to find happiness. From Sunday Times bestselling author Evelyn Hood comes a novel that fans of Catherine Cookson and Dilly Court will adore

Can she secure her family’s future?

Isle of Bute, Scotland, 1945

Celia Scott, matriarch of a farming family on Bute, expects her grandson Martin to take over Westervoe farm after the war. She dismisses her other son Angus, weakened by a crushed leg, and undervalues Jennet, her granddaughter, who returned home pregnant after leaving nursing. Though ashamed of Jennet’s son, Jamie, Celia lets them stay. Confident in Martin’s return, she sends away the McCabe evacuees who helped during the war.

When Martin refuses to come back and Celia is injured, she decides the family must abandon the lease on the farm. Jennet resists, determined to keep it for Angus and Jamie, clashing with her grandmother. She calls back Mollie McCabe for help and takes in holiday lodgers. Jennet persuades Angus to try running the farm for a year, but the return of someone from her past makes her question whether staying on Bute is the right choice.
