Surprisingly good. Kept my interest all through. Two parallel stories: an author comes to the Aberdeen area and writes a novel about the 18th century and a Jacobite rebellion, which more or less "writes itself." She is told this is "genetic memory." The characters in her novel are from her own family's past but with her writing in her current love interest as her heroine's--a family ancestor.
Fact and fiction blur with amazing coincidences in plots. (

A writer finds herself drawn to a particular section of Scottish coastline while she's plotting her next book--but the book virtually starts to write itself as ideas flood her brain. Or are they memories? "Genetic memories"? Interesting premise, although not for the skeptic at heart. I viewed it as a more creative, intense way to tell a story that would have otherwise been a straight researching-family-history premise. Or that could have gone to the other end of the spectrum and been a time-slip novel.

It got bogged down (for me) in some of the political history of the Jacobites, which, no matter how hard I try to follow, makes my eyes glaze over. It was also a bit long for holding my interest steadily.
But the writing was quite literary in places. (

I really loved the beginning of this book. I looked up the history, enjoyed getting to know the characters, and found the writing to be top notch. Unfortunately, the story lines are not resolved satisfactorialy. (

En el noreste de Escocia, donde las olas rompen contra los acantilados y una lluvia pertinaz cae sobre las ruinas de antiguos castillos, se oculta una historia de rebelión, intrigas, amor y traición. Para Carrie McClelland, aquel pueblecito escocés únicamente iba a ser un alto en el camino. Sin embargo, al visitarlo, queda atrapada por su paisaje agreste y el perfil de las ruinas del castillo de Slains sobre el acantilado. Cediendo a un impulso, se instala allí para trabajar en su próxima novela; mucho tiempo después comprenderá que no tomó aquella decisión por azar. Poco a poco esos parajes y sus gentes, que le resultan extrañamente familiares, se adueñan de ella. Y empieza a escribir una historia olvidada, como si la recordara o se la dictase una voz del pasado. Una historia que sucedió trescientos años atrás. Pasado y presente se entrelazan en una novela evocadora, bañada de romanticismo y misterio, basada en un episodio real y apenas conocido de la historia de Escocia.

Come home! The year has left you old;
Leave those grey stones; wrap close this shawl
Around you for the night is cold;
Come home! He will not hear you call;

No sign awaits you here but the beat
Of tides upon the strand,
The craig's gaunt shadow with gull's feet
Imprinted on the sand,
And spars and sea-weed strewn
Under a pale moon.

Come home! He will not hear you call;
Only the night winds answer as they fall
Along the shore,
and evermore
Only the sea-shells
On the grey stones singing,
And the white foam-bells
On the North Sea ringing.
-E.J. Pratt, "On the Shore"
