The Piper of Laide
Description:... INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East.
Her colleagues in the Edinburgh hospital were astounded when young Doctor Alison Graham interrupted her promising career to go and work as assistant to her G.P. Aunt Janet on a lonely island in the Outer Hebrides. But Alison, knowing or her aunt's serious illness, felt that she should do her best to try and take her place.
Alison had expected to be greeted with a certain reserve by her new patients, but she was not prepared for the undisguised hostility with which she was treated from the first. It was something far more than Scottish suspicion or a stranger — but what, and who, could be behind it?
