Sinopse

&lsquo,The quality of the writing and the research is outstanding.&rsquo, Jeffrey ArcherScotland 1586.áA land in turmoil, a family torn apart. An ancient feud threatens Munro&rsquo,s home, his family, even his life.Munro owes allegiance to the Cunninghames and to the Earl of Glencairn. He escapes the bloody aftermath of a massacre, but cannot escape the disdain of the wife he sought to protect, nor inner conflict, as he wrestles with his conscience, with divided loyalties and, most dangerous of all, a growing friendship with the rival Montgomerie clan.Set against the backdrop of the turmoil of the closing years of the sixteenth century, Turn of the Tide follows the fortunes of a fictional family trapped at the centre of a notorious historic feud. Known as the Ayrshire Vendetta, it began in the 15th century and wasn&rsquo,t finally resolved until the latter part of the 17th, the Cunninghames and Montgomeries dubbed the &lsquo,Montagues and Capulets&rsquo, of Ayrshire.Book 1 of the Munro Scottish Saga trilogyPraise for Margaret Skea &ndash, Beryl Bainbridge Best First Time Novelist 2014&lsquo,I have read some wonderful debut novels this year &ndash, Turn of the Tide is one of them. I loved it &hellip, a tale of love, loyalty, tragedy and betrayal.&rsquo,áBooksPlease&lsquo,Munro frames the book, in at the initial kill, and centre stage in the brilliant climax, all the more shocking as the conclusion of an otherwise measured tale &hellip, a fascinating and engaging read with great visual effect.&rsquo,áBetween the Lines&lsquo,It is hard to know where to begin, there were so many things I liked about Turn of the Tide&hellip,an emotionally gripping story about a man caught between duty and conscience at a time in history when a man&rsquo,s livelihood depended upon his loyalty to family and clan.&rsquo,áThe History Lady&lsquo,Margaret Skea brings sixteenth century Scotland to vivid life in Turn of the Tide. I enjoyed travelling back in time with her.&rsquo,áSharon K Penman
