Publisher's Synopsis
Scotland, summer 1912. A year on from the death of Weem Lowrie, his shadow still casts a spell over his family and the small fishing community of Buckie. His wife, Jess, has to live with the decision to bury Weem rather than returning him to the sea as he'd wished. Time has done little to heal the resulting rift between her and her oldest son, James, who also has to cope with his father's decision not to pass on his share of their boat. Both James and his sister Bethany are also living the consequences of marriages forced on them by their father's business interests; their younger brother, Innes, has not escaped unscathed either. But time moves on, even on the shores of the Moray Firth: Innes has the attractions of farm maid Zelda Mulholland to deal with, and Jess, to her amazement, has the return of her childhood sweetheart...
