Original Blue Hardback. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 2009. 190pp. B&W illustrations, maps. "Married to a Scottish law lord, Lady Grange threatened to expose her husband's secret connections to the Jacobites in an attempt to force him to leave his London mistress. But the stakes were higher than she could ever have imagined. Her husband's powerful co-conspirators exacted a ruthless revenge. One night in 1732, Lady Grange was dragged from her lodgings in Edinburgh and carried off into exile. She was taken to St Kilda, 100 miles off the west coast of the Scottish mainland, an island so inaccessible that it received virtually no visitors. Life on St Kilda was harsh and Lady Grange endured extreme isolation in this Gaelic-speaking community until she learned to speak Gaelic 'tolerably well'. During her captivity she never ceased in her determination to escape and make her story known to the world. The mysterious arrival of two of her letters in Edinburgh nine years after her abduction prompted a rescue attempt, but in an act of 'extraordinary rendition', her Jacobite captors relocated her to avoid discovery. Through assiduous detective work with contemporary sources, Margaret Macauley lays bare this shocking tale of violence, abduction, hardship and loneliness, and throws light on a shadowy episode in Jacobite history.". Book and unclipped jacket both in excellent condition with no inscriptions.
