A mother and son bound to a land of terrible beauty. A story that
will make you smile and make you cry and perhaps make you wonder.
Wonder at the joy of the dreadful power of nature at it's wildest,
at the power of human resilience and the joy and the pain of a
small boy growing up and at the strength and love of his young
mother and their shared love of the land. Just three years after
the Great War, in the remote Highlands of Scotland, during a
terrible storm, Mairi McDonald gives birth to a son. Her croft,
high on the moors, on the slopes of the golden mountain, supports
her few sheep. The sour soil provides a scant living for her and
her troubled husband Hamish. Callum, her newborn son contains all
her hopes and the hopes of the tiny community of The Glen who have
recently lost so many lives to the devastations of war. As Callum
grows he begins to love this capricious land and its way of life as
much as his mother does, despite its hardships and setbacks.,
despite heartbreak, tragedy and dangers. But he also begins to
yearn for a life beyond The Glen. Mairi too begins to wonder if her
beloved son will ever have a future beyond that of her own small
and remote world. Can Mairi's and Callum's dreams ever be fulfilled
in such tumultuous times and against so many obstacles.

Escape to the ballrooms of Regency London with this beautifully
designed boxset of the first four books in the worldwide bestselling
Bridgerton series, the inspiration behind the Netflix phenomenon. In
this glamorous, witty series, the Bridgertons reign over the Ton,
watched (and gossiped about) by a mysterious columnist known only as
Lady Whistledown . . .
The Duke & I
Simon Basset appears on the verge of proposing to the lovely Daphne
Bridgerton. But secretly their affair is a ruse to escape
marriage-minded society mothers . . . Or is it? Amidst the glittering,
gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one
certainty: love ignores every rule . . .
The Viscount Who Loved Me
Anthony Bridgerton needs a wife. As the oldest son, he knows it's high
time he settled down and ensured the continuation of the Bridgerton
line. What a shame then, that he seems to have fallen in love with
entirely the wrong woman . . .
An Offer From a Gentleman
One ball, one unknown woman and one magical night, changed everything
for Benedict Bridgerton. Now, he has sworn to find and wed his mystery
miss, for he knows this is his only chance for a fairy tale love story
. . .
Romancing Mr Bridgerton
Penelope Featherington has loved her best friend's brother, Colin
Bridgerton, ever since she was a girl. When she discovers his deepest
secret she must decide: is it time to share her own?
