The sun is shining. Paradise, she thinks. But at that moment, she hears a voice: \"All this way for a funeral.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo begins an adventure far removed from Jemima's visions of heather-covered hills, crystal-clear streams, romantic men in kilts, fairy-tale castles....Instead, she is plunged into the strange world of the aristocratic Beauregard family with its tensions, its jealousies, and its violence, in many ways a primitive world dominated by the land and its possessing. The setting is the Wild Island itself, sometimes enchanting, but too often frighteningly remote; the streams, not silvery, but brown and sinister; her holiday home, with its disturbing, sometimes terrifying, influences; the people--the dashing war hero Colonel Henry and his sons, the forthright old priest Father Flanagan, Bridie the family servant, Clementina the wayward heiress...none of them quite what they seem.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd then there is the specter of the Scottish \"freedom fighters,\" in the shape of the self-styled army of the Red Rose.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt all adds up to a brilliantly told story of mystery and intrigue on the Wild Island.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WW Norton \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54220342591832,"sku":"9780393331899","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780393331899__676544e618da1.jpg?v=1741158499","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/wild-island","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
