Overview
Set on the windswept Scottish coast, this two-book collection follows the fishing village of Eyemouth as it is torn apart by tragedy and slowly, painfully, begins to heal. Elisabeth McNeill's saga blends real historical events with unforgettable characters, charting love, loss and resilience across a close-knit community. Perfect for readers of Ellie Dean and Anna Jacobs, these two beautifully written novels can be read together as one sweeping story of grief, courage and new beginnings in Victorian Scotland.
About the Books
The Storm opens in 1881 as a violent storm devastates Eyemouth, a small fishing village on the Scottish borders. Newly wed Rosabelle Maltman loses her husband on the night of the disaster, while her mother-in-law Effie loses her husband and three sons in a single, catastrophic night. Based on true events, the novel follows the women left behind as they mourn, support one another and slowly find the strength to imagine a future again. Turn of the Tide picks up the story as the village continues to rebuild. Still grieving, Rosabelle has left Scotland to start afresh, leaving her young son behind in Eyemouth. Meanwhile her sister-in-law Jessie schemes to manipulate the men of the village for her own advantage, and it falls once again to the formidable Effie to hold the family and the wider community together. Together, the two novels form a moving, atmospheric saga of a real Scottish tragedy and the ordinary women who lived through its aftermath. McNeill writes with warmth and historical detail, drawing readers into a tightly bound fishing community where grief and hope sit side by side. Fans of multi-generational family sagas set against dramatic historical backdrops will find both books immersive, emotionally rich reads that stand alone but reward being read in sequence.
About the Author
Elisabeth McNeill was a long-established freelance journalist and broadcaster who wrote five non-fiction books and 26 novels. She lived with a miniature dachshund in the oldest inhabited village on the Scottish borders, where she spent most of her school days, and drew on this deep connection to the region to bring the Eyemouth disaster vividly to life in her fiction.
