Separately and together the couple reflect on the shocking brutality of the glens clearance thirty years earlier, exploring notions of love, commitment, trauma and happiness, and discovering what it means to take care of another persons soul.</p><p>An audiobook suffused with poetry and based on truth, <em>Music in the Dark</em> looks with searing honesty at love in older age - its cost and its beauties - whilst shedding light on female resistance during the Highland Clearances, and depicting, with poignant empathy, the long-term physical and mental effects the past can have on us.</p><p>(P) 2023 Hodder & Stoughton Limited</p>...(*_*)9781529345971_<p><strong>Wonderful and moving Clare Chambers</strong></p><p><strong>Utterly absorbing <em>Sunday Post</em></strong></p><p><strong>SHORTLISTED FOR THE WINSTON GRAHAM HISTORICAL PRIZE</strong></p><p>Jamesina Ross is long finished with men.
