In the summer of 2011, Gilbert Johnson, an Edinburgh antiquarian
bookseller suffering from cancer who has only ever travelled via
books before, decides to make one big journey while he is still fit
enough – to British Columbia on the trail of an early settler he
believes may have been his runaway grandfather, a man who went on
to become important in the embryonic ‘Indian Rights’ movement
of the 20th century. Flying over the Rocky Mountains he meets a
fellow passenger, a Canadian woman, so beginning a relationship
that ultimately carries the two of them deep into the interior of
the province. macCLOUD FALLS is both an exploration of the Scottish
colonisation of B.C., and a roadtrip romance full of humour, rich
characters and incident in the shadow of impending death.
