Where the Bridge Lies Zusammenfassung

Where the Bridge Lies Frank Woods

1941. The Clydebank Blitz robs Nessa Glover of her husband and five children. Struggling with her new reality she becomes a shipyard welder, and finds herself drawn into trade union activism. One day she visits Harmony, a commune built on notions of equality and unity, led by the charismatic Fergus Abercrombie. But not everything is quite as it seems at Harmony. 1980. Keir Connor is a traumatised war correspondent. When his father dies, he is left with a letter - a letter that takes him to Clydebank in search of answers. His journey leads him on to Harmony, now Laggandarroch, a residential school for disadvantaged children, as he tries to unlock the past. One thing is sure: Harmony is key.

Where the Bridge Lies Bewertungen

`Well-constructed, absorbing and thought-provoking. Besides straddling historical events, it examines the ideas of alternate societies, the ideals of socialism, alternate ways of dealing with institutionalised, disturbed youth, and war, and its lasting consequences. It is also proudly Scottish . . . It strikes a good balance between an absorbing plot and espousing - or discrediting - provocative ideas . . . a well-plotted, well-researched and carefully crafted first novel.' - Gillian Lord, The Courier. ; `This new two-tier novel, with timelines changing between the 1940s and 1980s, is a reminder as to how life-changing events of the past can shape the future. It is a tale of human emotions that explores Scottish history, psychology and identity as it takes readers on a ride of twists and turns.' - Scotland Correspondent.
