Description

Secrets in the Heather is set in early twentieth century Scotland, where one woman's life is haunted by a secret.

Little Victoria Pringle, orphaned at birth, has been raised by the woman she believes to be her great-grandmother, in a cottage on the Darlonachie Estate. When Jane McCrady dies, Victoria is offered a home by the Pringle family, tenants of Sir William Crainby, Laird of Darlonachie. The Pringle brothers, especially Andrew, take Victoria under their wing, and she is allowed to work in the kitchens of the castle, once the domain of Mistress McCrady.

But times change in the years after the First World War, and a new generation is holding sway at the castle, both above and below stairs. As Victoria grows into a beautiful young woman, and a talented cook, she faces new choices and opportunities, and must come to terms with a long-buried secret in her past.

Secrets in the Heather is a heartwarming tale of love, set in the beautiful Scottish countryside and featuring a cast of well-drawn characters. It is the first novel in a three-book series of the same name, and is a treat for Gwen Kirkwood's many fans, as well as readers who enjoy romantic and/or rural fiction.

Praise for Secrets in the Heather:

'I very much enjoyed the plot of this novel, the upbringing and situation of the main character, Victoria, very believable. The past isn't always easy to bury or escape from and sometimes people like Victoria need to meet it head on to ensure that the past doesn't shape the future. The settings are realistic and well-described, as are the characters.'Amazon review

'I enjoyed reading this book, it was a nice flowing easy read with believable characters that you could genuinely feel for.' Amazon review
