Gail Macdonald is slightly envious of her single friend's romantic adventures but remains faithful in her marriage until she finds that her husband has been playing away games. When her first ever boyfriend moves back into the village she feels she has a right to a romantic, guilt-free fling.
‘This is an articulate and beautifully observed slice of Highland life: along the way the story explores themes of class and landownership, and the strains between locals and settlers. It will strike an obvious chord with every mother of young children…the agony of having to ask your mum to baby-sit; the daily torture of whether you are a good enough mother at all, and the vain struggles to retain a separate identity from that of your kids.’
