Kilcaraig

Viac o knihe

Castle Kilcaraig, home of the Lamonts of Mull, is the centre of this Scottish family chronicle spanning sixty years. The secret birth of a baby, the death of her mother Catriona, and Lamont loyalty which makes possible a deception that has far-reacing consequences, is the beginning in 1913. A few years later Grania Lamont is still only a child when her impoverished family sell up and move south to London. But as a beautiful young woman she has a chance to retrieve Kilcaraig and her birthright. Hawever, riches are not everything, a jealous husband can be a penance and when Grania truly falls in love, she realizes the price she has paid. For the next generation, Grania's three children make their way in a harsher world. Her twin sons have different destinies. Niall the elder, with the Kilcaraig inheritance as his future, chooses a shy, loving girl as a bride. Rorie, headstrong and reckless, threatens scandal for the Lamonts with his passion for a prima donna whose golden voice has the world at her feet. Catriona, as beautiful as her grandmother who began the whole story, finds her road a hard one; but she finds happiness in the end.
