Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a beautifully tender story from the late Malcolm McLennan that explores themes of human nature, love, and class conflict within a rural community in 19th century Scotland. Set against the backdrop of a changing agricultural landscape, it tells the story of Jock, a simple ploughman and his quest to marry May, a bondager, whose affections he wins despite their differing social standings.
