How The Northern Light Gets In
Bonnie Prince Charlie is making his attempt to seize the throne, a poet recalls seeing first-hand the effect of the guillotine, the mute son of a war veteran reacts to the declaration of another World War, and an encounter in the Falklands remains lodged in the nightmares of a wounded marine. Beginning with Joe's escape from Black Scaur Farm in Your Wee Bit Hill and Glen, these six stories detail characters in search of inner peace. Under pressure and beset by abuse, there is a need to forge an identity and prove self-worth. War is either threatening or it has already left its scars. It is the Northern landscapes and northern light which offers solace. But does that lie in the majestic fells and beguiling lakes? Or is it to be found somewhere within, where affinity with the landscape exists alongside the necessity for honest communication with others and the need for careful nurturing? "Subtle, absorbing story-telling, from a writer who explores, through close observation of behaviour, shifting sands within relationships. Six stories set in different times but each with the same attention to human interaction - along with microdoses of magic." Tim Pears.
