Catherine MacDonald is astonished to receive from her twin
brother-who had apparently drowned a year earlier-a kashmiri shawl,
a caddy of unusual tea, and a sheaf of traditional bagpipe music in
his handwriting. When had he sent it? And why had he retitled a
certain tune "Not Yet Drown'd"? Irresistibly, she is drawn to India
to search for answers. With her stepdaughter and their two maids
she follows an obscure trail of clues, and in the course of their
journey they meet botanists, smugglers, engineers, soldiers, and
artists-as well as love and betrayal. As they grow to understand
certain Scottish and Indian paintings and music, they discover
unsuspected truths about the man they are seeking.
