A Scottish Castle, a whaling voyage and a mysterious body washed out of the ground in a storm……
The book is set in both the 1940s and 1880s as the current generations of the Gillian family try to uncover what happened to the mysterious wife of their ancestor. All records seem to have been destroyed - but why? And when a body is unearthed how does that relate to the mystery?
Whilst this is indeed a tale of uncovered secrets and adventures on an Arctic voyage, it is much more than that. A story of love and family relationships which will resonate with many. As the story flits between the perspectives of the different characters, they go through journeys of self discovery and contemplation and maybe it’s a reminder to sometimes see things from the other person’s point of view.
A very enjoyable read with enough intrigue and suspense to not want to put it down.
