The paperback edition of The Other Side of Stone, a novella which
centres around a Perthshire woollen mill, revisiting it over three
centuries through characters as diverse as a 19th century
stonemason and modern-day architect. The primary timeline follows
Catharine, a cotton spinner from Paisley and fierce suffragette,
who has followed her husband home to the village where he's taken
on a job at the local mill. Both militant members of the Labour
Movement, it is through her developing connection to the mill that
the intricate interweaving of the other stories is revealed. While
fictional, the novella draws on many real histories of local mills,
and offers a fascinating insight into the long-term impact of
industrialisation upon rural Scotland, as well as the struggle for
women's rights.
