ScotlandsFest: Northern Spirits, Restless Hearts

Join Janis Mackay, author of On a Northern Shore, in the fertile place where ancient Scottish folklore and new feisty fiction meet – where love is hampered by ghosts and the restless surge of the sea is always in hearing. A love story, steeped in Celtic folklore and set in the windswept coastal shores of the far north of Scotland, On a Northern Shore takes you right there: where the gull’s lonely cry and the seal’s song can tear your heart. Beautifully written. Unputdownable. Atmospheric and intriguing.
