Meara isn’t thinking about death, that morning, when she kisses her mother good-bye, but hours later she is, as her fingers slide into the back of Mother’s shattered skull. Empty eyes – the empty eyes of her mother – stare right through her and Meara thinks her world has ended. She has no idea.
Ebullient and feisty, eighteen-year-old Meara MacDonald lives an idyllic life with her family, on the mist-enfolded Isle of Skye, dreaming of the day when she will wed her heart, the gallant Duncan MacLeod. But fate has other plans and when Aunt Deirdre and Uncle Sloan seep into their midst, Meara’s family is taken, one-by-one, for reasons she discovers are both personal and nefarious.
Mother is found dead, Da disappears, Duncan is taken by the Napoleonic Wars, Meara’s younger sister, Hannah – with child by Uncle Sloan – takes her own life and while Meara sleeps, her newborn son is snatched from her arms.
Unable to rein in her spirit or her tongue, Meara finds herself catapulted from Scotland to a household steeped in mystery in Nova Scotia where, guided by her strength of will, she will fight her way back to the remains of her family; her heart and soul.

Warning ~ This novel is NOT suitable for the faint of heart. It is NOT a fluffy romance but a gritty tale of tragedy, betrayal and deception with true love, faith and justice. The dialogue throughout is authentic Scottish dialect with true-to-life swearing, violence and sex.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Megan Denby is an award-winning novelist who grew up on a farm amidst a family of six. Once she discovered books, she was lost, often reading to the wee hours of the morning. Her world is her family, friends and writing. A writer for over thirty years, Megan’s debut novel, ‘A Thistle in the Mist’ was described by one agent as having a ‘hypnotic, fairy-tale-like quality’ and was inspired by the turbulent life of her feisty, Scottish great-grandmother. A Canadian girl, Megan is an avid dragon boater and a rookie goalie in the local women’s hockey league. She lives in the enchanting, lakeside community of Port Perry, Ontario amidst her family of eight and is working on the disturbing sequel, ‘Lost to the Mist’.

It wasn't a bad read, nor was it great. The storyline was a little farfetched at times. The use of Scottish and Gaelic words by someone who has never lived there, was at times totally out of place and sometimes used with the wrong context/meaning.

5,0 su 5 stelle An authentic Scottish tale, don't miss it.
Recensito in Canada il 11 giugno 2015

Being a direct descendent of Robert the Bruce, I am very interested in Scottish stories. I loved the setting on the Isle of Skye, the plaids, the thistles, and especially the brogue throughout the book. Megan created vivid characters and a wonderful storyline with many twists and turns, and best of all a happy ending. There's nothing like it, when love conquers all and good prevails over evil. I was delighted to find out that I actually live in the same small town as Megan, and that my husband taught her in elementary school. It's terrific to see her excelling at her writing, and I am definitely going to read the sequel,can hardly wait to join the lives of Meara and Duncan and their family again.

I have never been to Scotland. After reading, A Thistle in the Mist, I want to visit the Isle of Skye and see those thistles in the mist the author talks about. I also wish I could meet Meara MacDonald and her strapping young man Duncan MacLeod there. But they lived out their incredible lives in the eighteen hundreds.

Writer Megan Denby created an entire world in this novel, which I felt privileged to visit. From the start of the book, I was fascinated by time and place, and in particular the language of the Scots. What a lovely lilt that Scottish burr is! What fun it was to meet Meara as she sings a song written by the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns. Of course, she calls him Rabbie Burns! Don't you simply love it when a writer knows her stuff? Yes, I'm one of those who checks. And Denby knows what she is talking about. From the colors of the MacDonald tartan to the claret our heroine's father drinks. While I think of Scotland as being famous for its single malts, in the eighteen hundreds claret was as common a drink as milk.

As our heroine Meara goes from a carefree life at Duntulm Castle to heartbreak, sweet Duncan tells her, "Ah, lass, if I could take away the hurtin', ye ken I would." You got to love a sweet laddie like him! As Meara has to fight for her life alone while her man is away fighting Napoleon, she is sustained by Duncan's love.

Will our sweet lassie get her hunk of a laddie in the end? Take the journey with Meara, Duncan and all the characters author Denby brings alive on the page. It's well worth the trip.

5,0 su 5 stelle Fantastic read. More please.

I have just returned from holiday, where I read this book cover to cover in just over 48 hours. To me, the mark of a good storyteller is one who can keep you constantly engaged and Megan Denby did this fantastically.

The basic premise may seem like one we have encountered time and again; the classic fairy tale story of a carefree young girl, who suddenly has her world turned upside down, and has to battle evil in the form of cruel relatives, but A Thistle in the Mist is so much more than this and the story itself has many different layers. Think along the lines of a Scottish Tess of the d'Urbervilles, but with it's own unique twist.

The writing is seamless, reminding me of the crisp engaging style of Nora Roberts, and the characters so well drawn, they feel like flesh and blood coming alive off the page. You are rooting for Meara and Duncan, feel their grief, frustration and anger, but also the secondary characters are just as well rounded. Honourable young Rabbie, his loyal and devoted family, tragic Hannah, sad young Vanessa and the insidious ghastly Sloan. All the way through I kept thinking about how well this tale would translate to the big screen and maybe this is something to hope for in the future.

Megan Denby is definitely a talent to watch and I am now eagerly awaiting the sequel.

4,0 su 5 stelle Very well written.

The story line was great, with a lot of unpredictable twists and turns, due to the setting years, where things like that WERE possible. Over all, I found it hard to read with the Brogue in the characters conversations, but that is more due to the fact I am American, not 1800's Scottish. Once I figured out which words meant what, and was able to follow conversations, I absolutely loved the book. Thanks, for a wonderfully spun tale. I look for your next book soon.
