Publisher's Synopsis
Scotland, 1950s. Walter MacMillan is bewitched by clever, glamorous Jean Thompson and can't believe his luck when she agrees to marry him. Neither can she, for Walter represents a steady, loving man who can perhaps quiet the demons inside her. Yet their home on remote Loch Doon soon becomes a prison for Jean and neither a young family, nor Walter's care, can seem to save her. Years later, Walter is holidaying with his children and grandchildren on the shores of Loch Doon. But the shadows of the past will turn all their lives upside down on one fateful weekend.
