THE BLACKBIRDS TALE; A story of three women united in their love for books, for life and for their men. The book is set in Glasgow and follows the life of Cathy, a war bride, Hannah, her daughter and Robyn, her granddaughter and their little bookshop called "The Blackbird". FLOWER OF SCOTLAND:In the idyllic summer of 1912, all seems rosy for Murdo Drummond and his four children. Charlotte is ecstatically in love with Geoffrey; Peter prepares for the day when he will inherit the family distillery, while Andrew, gregarious and fun-loving, is already turning heads and hearts. Nell, the youngest, contents herself with daydreams of a handsome highlander. The Great War, however, has no respect for family life. As those carefree pre-war days fade, with death and devastation brought in their wake, the Drummonds are plunged into the horrors of the trenches in France. Yet those who survive discover that love can transcend class, creed, and country. 572 + 569pp
