Turn of the Tide by Margaret Skea

Turn of the Tide by Margaret Skea

The Munro Saga is the story of a fictional family trapped within the 'Ayrshire Vendetta', a long-running, historic feud between the Cunninghame and Montgomerie families, dubbed the Montagues and Capulets of Ayrshire. It is a tale of diverse loyalties, and the pressure conflict places on family, on relationships and on personal integrity.

'I thought the quality of the writing and of the research was outstanding' Jeffrey Archer - 'Margaret Skea brings sixteenth Scotland to vivid life. I enjoyed travelling back in time with her.' Sharon K Penman - 'The sheer villainy of some characters will take your breath away.' Historical Novels Review. - 'Set against the backdrop of a 16th century Scottish clan feud, a wonderful novel of blood, dirt, political manipulation and the cost to a family when one man struggles against the tide. As meticulously researched as Philippa Gregory, it's touching, fierce and surprising, with a sprinkling of humour. The Bookbag.
