Bay Of Strangers (The)

In these eight short stories Lillian Beckwith packs in a rich cast of characters and seductive Highland settings.

In the title story, Catriona McRae embarks on married life and learns a closely guarded secret from her mother-in-law. ‘The Banjimolly’ features a witch – and two bottles of whisky, whilst ‘Because of an Elephant’ concerns an eccentric laird’s wife. A boy and his adored collie dog, Meg, are the subjects of ‘The Last Shot’.

Each story is beautifully and affectionately told.­­       Lillian Beckwith
