Sophia's Secret by Susanna Kearsley
Carolyn McClelland, a writer of historical novels, finds herself with a familiar enemy; writer's block. A change of scenery leads her, and her book, in a whole new direction. Writing about the attempted Jacobite invasion of 1707, Carolyn takes up residence in a cottage in Edinburgh. Inexplicably drawn to Slains Castle, and not so inexplicably drawn to the charming, but somehow familiar, Stuart Keith, Carolyn is soon writing with an unusual speed and imagery which leads her to wonder whether her 'fictional' character of Sophia is really so fictional after all. Carolyn soon realises that she is somehow channelling the memories of her distant relative and that her story has a life of its own.
'A deeply-engaging romance and a compelling historical novel.. Susanna Kearsley has written a marvellous book' BERNARD CORNWELL
Susanna Kearsley, was a museum curator before she began writing full-time, and brings a passion for research and travel to bear in her books, weaving history with the modern-day. She lives in Canada.
