The Back of the Book

Winner of the Saltire Society Scottish Book of the Year Award

A young man leans over the railings of the ocean liner bound for the  
exotic shores of Penang.  It is early in the 1930s and Dr Alexander Mackay  
is on his way to take up his post running a maternity hospital in the  
colony.  During the voyage he meets two beautiful sisters and the seeds of  
a scandal are sown.

Seventy years later Edward Mackay wakes after a major brain trauma.  In  
the hazy shadowlands of illness, he conjures the figure of his dead  
father, a man he knew so little about.  This near-death experience  
provokes a move to the wilds of Orkney, but in the tight-knit island  
community passions also run high.

If interested please PM laura0141 stating location, shipping preference  
and the name of the book (I run a lot of rings).  If no preference is  
given I will assume you can ship internationally by surface/economy mail.
