If Mary Brunton - The Forgotten Scottish Novelist was only about a writer who was an influence on Jane Austen, and happened to be born a Balfour of Balfour Castle, Orkney, her story would in itself be fascinating. But she observed life with a pawky humour, which also characterised her best-selling novels. Drawing from unpublished sources, many from Orkney, this is the first full-length account of a remarkable woman. Set against a Regency background that included Edinburgh and London, Mary Brunton is also part of the rich history of Orkney itself, and as Fay Weldon notes in her Introduction is ".by any standards. .a significant book, a pleasure to read." Size: 8vo.
