Fiction

Her world will be turned upside down… It’s 1935 and beautiful Lindy Gillan dreams of getting away from her boring life in Edinburgh’s impoverished Old Town. Her one consolation is her dear friend Neil, a young writer from the same tenement block, whom she has known for years. But then handsome Rod Connor walks into the shop where Lindy works one day and her life no longer seems quite so boring.

Rod’s arrival brings with it new, unexpected opportunities, but with war looming on the horizon, things are about to change. She must make a choice about the man she wants to be with – steady, reliable Neil or dashing and exciting Rod. Lindy’s decision will have unforeseen repercussions, but will she find the lasting happiness she so desperately desires?

A moving Scottish saga perfect for fans of Maggie Mason and Maisie Thomas.
