In a Veil of Mist by Donald S Murray
A haunting exploration of the cost of war and the Cold War arms race that tells the story of a little-known germ warfare incident in the Scottish Outer Hebrides, with the empathy and poignancy of the authors prize-winning first novel, As the Women Lay Dreaming.
'A moving portrait of a place and its people.. a quiet, sad but brilliant novel.' Antonia Senior, Times, Book of the Month in best historical fiction; 'Set in [Murray's] native Lewis as firmly as the stones at Callanish ... it is so credibly drawn that the book is almost a ticket to the island ... it seems an even more impressive achievement than ever.' David Robinson, Books from Scotland; 'Shows yet again how a good novel is capable of making you think and feel at the same time … a rich and sympathetic portrayal of island life in all its diversity … timely and compelling … a novel to savour.' Allan Massie, Scotsman; 'A well-written and well-crafted novel from an author at the height of his powers.' Eric Macintyre, Oban Times
