Scotland, 1940.
Wounded in action, Archie Maxwell has returned to his family estate in Argyll. Thrown together with his father’s beautiful new wife, and haunted by his wartime memories, Archie discovers that Rosslie has become more of a battleground than a refuge.
Forty years later, Eva Bayne is a journalist looking for a story. Ever since the disappearance of Rosslie’s heir during the the war, the Maxwells have lived under a shadow – and Eva is drawn into the mystery. Especially when the glimpse of an old photograph stirs up long-buried memories of her childhood in Newfoundland.
From the shore of western Scotland to the wild coast of Newfoundland, this is a story of love, loss and personal redemption.
