Publisher's Synopsis
Castlebraes: Drawn From The Tinlie Manuscripts is a historical fiction novel written by James Paton and originally published in 1898. The story is set in the fictional Scottish town of Castlebraes and follows the lives of its inhabitants during the 16th century. The novel is structured as a collection of documents, including letters, diary entries, and historical records, all of which have been compiled by the author from the Tinlie Manuscripts. The Tinlie family are prominent landowners in Castlebraes, and their records provide a detailed account of the town's social and political history. The story centers around two main characters: John Tinlie, the head of the Tinlie family, and his daughter, Margaret. John is a wealthy and powerful man who is deeply involved in the politics of the town, while Margaret is a young woman who is determined to break free from the constraints of her gender and social class. As the story unfolds, we see the characters navigate the complex political landscape of Castlebraes, deal with family drama and betrayal, and struggle to maintain their own personal values in the face of societal pressure. Overall, Castlebraes: Drawn From The Tinlie Manuscripts is a fascinating look at life in 16th century Scotland, told through a unique and engaging narrative structure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
