Description
A compelling tale beautifully told, Mr Mac & Me is a story of an unlikely friendship that will keep you turning the pages. Set on the Suffolk coastline in 1914, the novel follows Thomas Maggs, a young boy living with his family in a small village, as he forms a connection with a mysterious stranger.
As the summer wears on, Thomas becomes fascinated with the stranger, who turns out to be the architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and his wife, a talented artist. But just as their friendship begins to blossom, the outbreak of war with Germany changes everything, and the community becomes increasingly suspicious of the stranger's curious behaviour.
This beautifully told story is a poignant exploration of the human experience, set against the backdrop of one of the most significant events of the 20th century. With its vivid characters and evocative setting, Mr Mac & Me is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves historical fiction and stories of friendship and connection.
