The new novel from the best-selling author of Water for Elephants.
A gripping and poignant love story set in a remote village in the Scottish
Highlands at the end of the Second World War.
After embarrassing themselves at the social event of the year in high
society Philadelphia on New Year's Eve of 1944, Maddie and Ellis Hyde
are cut off financially by Ellis' father, a former army colonel who
is already ashamed of his colour-blind son's inability to serve in WWII.-
To Maddie's horror, Ellis decides that the only way to regain his father's
favour (and generosity) is to succeed in a venture his father attempted
and very publicly failed at: he will hunt the famous Loch Ness monster,
and when he finds it he will restore his father's name and return to
his father's good graces.
In January 1945 they hitch a ride on a ship across the Atlantic while
the war is still raging all around them. And Maddie, now alone and virtually
abandoned in a foreign country, must begin to work out who she is and
what she wants - the vacuous life she left behind or something more
real?
What she discovers - about the larger world and about herself - opens
her eyes not only to the dark forces that exist around her but to the
beauty and surprising possibilities of life.
