About the Author
Jessica Stirling was born in Glasgow. She is the author of twenty-five novels, many with Scottish themes.
From Booklist
The role of the upper-middle-class woman in Glasgow, Scotland, at the turn of the century is narrowly defined, and 18-year-old Lindsay Franklin's only release comes when she is given a share in the family's shipbuilding business. She starts to attend meetings and finds herself surprisingly interested in the company and her newfound younger cousin from Ireland, Forbes McCullough. A handsome rogue, he pits Lindsay against her equally smitten cousin, Cissie. She senses that there's something a little off about him, but he's very attractive and her grandfather seems to approve, so, in spite of her misgivings, she becomes engaged. Forbes is a scoundrel who genuinely likes Lindsay but wants her for mercenary reasons. They marry, but has Lindsay found love and contentment or does she have to look elsewhere? Stirling brings the Edwardian age to life through her depiction of everyday lives, enhancing the reader's sympathetic response to her characters' hopes and aspirations. Patty Engelmann
