The Seal of Promise by Geoffrey Piper

The Seal of Promise by Geoffrey Piper

Bernie slowly clambered up the slope and over the rocks on which she and her friends had often played. There seemed no danger as she made her way over towards a steep grassy bank which took her up to another ledge. But what none of them could see was the series of eroded, sloping rocks that lay beyond the next bank. Bernie was barefooted and wearing her usual tattered clothes.
Set on a tiny Scottish island in the early nineteenth century, The Seal of Promise tells the story of two young people from contrasting family backgrounds - he the wealthy laird's younger son, she a penniless crofter's daughter. Close friends as children at the island's little school, they are separated later by the British class system until eventually united by the revelation of a secret discovery they had made together as children. Little had they realised how significant that discovery might be, not only for their own lives but potentially for the nation as a whole.

Piper, Geoffrey: - Geoffrey Piper grew up in Bakewell, Derbyshire, studying at S. Anselm's and Repton School before gaining an honours degree in law at Cambridge. He enjoyed a long and successful career in accountancy and regional community development, working across much of the British Isles and Europe. A family man with four adult children and ten grandchildren, he has spent many happy holidays in Scotland and derived his inspiration for The Seal of Promise from family visits to Eilean Shona. The Seal of Promise is Geoffrey's first published novel.
