Reay Tannahill's Great Bestseller

''An ancient brooding castle... a dispossessed child... a lifelong passion for one errant man... wars, crises and feuds...'' WashINGTON POST.

Reay Tannahill's great bestseller is the story of an extraordinary woman's determination to win back her birthright – the remote and beautiful West Highland castle of Kinveil – sold by her father to a Glasgow merchant when she was seven years old. It is also the intricate picture of a family in the heyday of the British Empire, an epic story spanning almost a hundred years and stretching from Edinburgh to the Crimea, from an expanding America to the India of the Raj.
