Book Description
This is the first comprehensive critical analysis of Scottish women's writing from its recoverable beginnings to the present day. Essays cover individual writers - such as Margaret Oliphant, Nan Shepherd, Muriel Spark and Liz Lochhead - as well as groups of writers or kinds of writing - such as women poets and dramatists, or Gaelic writing and the legacy of the Kailyard. In addition to poetry, drama and fiction, a varied body of non-fiction writing is also covered, including diaries, memoirs, biography and autobiography, didactic and polemic writing, and popular and periodical writing for and by women.

Book Description
Diarmaid O Muirithe's column Words We Use was a feature of The Irish Times over many years and has formed a critically acclaimed book of the same name. Words We Don't Use (much anymore) is a highly entertaining compendium of words which are either on the brink of extinction or have already been deemed obsolete by the great dictionaries. O' Muirithe's gentle and witty style reveals his vast knowledge and scholarship in an accessible way. Inside you will find words such as manable, meaning a girl of marriageable age, and adamite, a person who appears nude in public, among many others that you might want to casually drop into your everyday conversation! Words We Don't Use is a wordsmith's delight

Book Description
Eriska Fingal, born on the Scottish Isle of Iona, wears a knitted bracelet that holds a protective Iona stone found only on the Isle of Iona. Eriska believes in the powers of the stone and thinks that if she carries the stone with her, she will survive life’s struggles. The stone brings strength to Eriska as she rides the waves of life in the late 1700s. Her journeys carry her to European battles on land and sea and to what she believes are the safe shores of Nantucket and Virginia, where she discovers a secret linked to her past and a man fated to change her life forever.
