LOCH OF THE BEES (PB)

An evocative and highly original fictional rendering of the Isle of Lewis that sweeps across time from the eighth century to the present day. Layering interlinked stories of successive generations like blankets of peat, Donald S Murray allows echoes of ancient lives to surface in the present. As in his award-winning previous novels, the ordinary is suffused with quiet wonder; every place and gesture carries memories and meaning, and the living are in constant conversation with those who came before.
