STORM

A Scottish saga based on true events. It is 1881, and when a violent storm devastates the Scottish fishing village of Eyemouth, few families escape unscathed. Newlywed Rosabelle Maltman loses her husband, and her mother-in-law Effie lost her husband and three sons. For these women and their neighbours in the close-knit community life will never be the same again. Yet as the months pass, the women of Eyemouth must learn to look to the future, to live and to love again in a village almost devoid of men after the tragedy of the storm. We really get under the skin of the women like the rich girl, the mistress and the poor wonderful fishing families. 309pp, paperback.
