Continuing the story she began in Flower of Scotl&, Emma invites the reader back into the lives of the Drummond family, who are still dealing with the aftermath of the First World War but now must also face up to the horrors of the Second. Andrew & Rose are running the distillery & have given a job to Jack's son, Tommy. Tommy hates the work & longs to be a pilot but Jack, horribly disfigured after the first war, forbids it. The onset of the new war sweeps aside any such decision... Andrew & Rose must cope with the loss of their baby; Andrew tries to manage as Rose's behaviour becomes increasingly bizarre but finds he must also face up to his own failing health... An enormously touching story & life, love & death.
