About this ebook
Built for the new age, the house stood boldly upright on the edge of the ocean withstanding the harsh blasts of a cruel century, nurturing and protecting the family within, watchful of hearts swollen or broken, dreams delivered and dashed. It had absorbed the tears and echoed the laughter.
A sweeping saga of one family through a momentous century. Different people, divergent lives and distinctive stories. Bound together by the place they called home.
But one of them is missing, lost to the world. An unknown grandchild, born to a son who went to war and never came back. As the years pass, through wars and emigration, social transformation and generational change, the search continues.
And the questions remain the same: who is he? Where is he? Will he ever come home?
John MacKay
John Mackay’s Hebridean roots stretch back beyond written records. His four bestselling novels, The Road Dance, Heartland, Last of the Line and Home, all draw on that heritage. He has made appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe, Aye Write and Celtic Connections, and his writing has featured on national television, radio and press. He is the co-anchor of STV’s News at Six and Scotland Tonight, the country’s most popular news and current affairs programmes. His experiences at the forefront of coverage of most of the major stories in Scotland in recent times are detailed in his book Notes of a Newsman, also published by Luath Press. A movie adaptation of The Road Dance filmed on the Western Isles and directed by Richie Adams was launched at the 2021 Edinburgh International Film Festival and won the Audience Award, voted for by viewers.
