説明

WINNER OF THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTIONTo tell the story of a country or a continent is surely a great and complex undertaking but the story of a quiet unnoticed place where there are few people fewer memories and almost no reliable records a place such as Glen Conach may actually be harder to piece together. The hazier everything becomes the more whatever facts there are become entangled with myth and legend. . .Deep in the mountains of northeast Scotland lies Glen Conach a place of secrets and memories fable and history. In particular it holds the stories of three different eras separated by centuries yet linked by location by an ancient manuscript and by echoes that travel across time.In ancient Pictland the Christian hermit Conach contemplates God and nature performs miracles and prepares himself for sacrifice. Long after his death legends about him are set down by an unknown hand in the Book of Conach.Generations later in the early nineteenth century selfpromoting antiquarian Charles Kirkliston Gibb is drawn to the Glen and into the big house at the heart of its fragile community.In the present day young Lachie whispers to Maja of a ghost he thinks he has seen. Reflecting on her long life Maja believes him for she is haunted by ghosts of her own.News of the Dead is a captivating exploration of refuge retreat and the reception of strangers. It measures the space between the stories people tell of themselves what they forget and what they invent and the stories through which they may or may not be remembered.
