Scottish form of 'home': a valued place regarded as a refuge or place of origin.' In the wake of the breakdown of her relationship, Mhairi McPhail dismantles her life in New York and moves with her 9-year-old daughter, Agnes, to the remote Scottish island of Fascaray. Mhairi has been commissioned to write a biography of the late Bard of Fascaray, Grigor McWatt, a cantankerous poet with an international reputation. But who was Grigor McWatt? Details of his past - his tough childhood and his war years as a commando - are elusive, and there is evidence of a mysterious love affair which Mhairi is determined to investigate. As she struggles to adapt to her new life, and put her own troubled past behind her, Mhairi begins to unearth the astonishing secret history of the poet regarded by many as the custodian of Fascaray's - and Scotland's soul. 650 0 $a Women biographers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women museum curators $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Scotland $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Diary fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Epistolary fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 6 952 $l JJPA194 $d 20231118010307.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021718.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728014025.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014225.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006112151.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170930010348.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=23ECA7389E9211E79390414B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
