Books of the month

For adults

Music in the dark by Sally Magnusson

A story of unlooked-for love in later life, told through the brutality of the Highland Clearances and their lasting effects. 

One night a stranger seeking lodging knocks on the door of Jamesina’s flat near Glasgow. They discover that they are linked by a shared past - the eviction of Greenyards, Strathcarron in 1854 thirty years earlier. 

A moving story, beautifully told. 

For children

Little Bear's Spring by Elli Woollard and Briony May Smith

A beautifully illustrated book about the changes that Spring brings.
