Publisher's Synopsis

We are in a small boat in the company of six Arran men on their way to sit on the Jury at the Court of Session in Inverary. No sooner has the boat left Brodick in Arran than things start to go wrong and in the conflict that arises the men begin to reveal their own sins.

Travelling through the South-west corner of the Gealtacht in the early 19th century we get a flavour of life in the area before it would be altered for ever under the influence of the great changes happening in the wider world. Each character's fate is bound in different ways to these changes and how they deal with them together.

Will the group manage reach the court in Inverary and if the do will they be competent to judge their fellow men with clear consciences?

About the Publisher

Luath Press

Luath Press takes its name from Robert Burns, whose little collie Luath (Gael., swift or nimble) tripped up Jean Armour at a wedding and gave him the chance to speak to the woman who was to be his wife and the abiding love of his life. Burns called one of The Twa Dogs Luath after Cuchullin's hunting dog in Ossian's Fingal . Luath Press was established in 1981 in the heart of Burns country, and is now based a few steps up the road from Burns' first lodgings on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Luath offers you distinctive writing with a hint of unexpected pleasures.
