Description
The Wind from the Sea by Mark Neilson is a poignant and powerful novel set in North East Scotland after World War I. Against the backdrop of a struggling fishing community, two main characters, Mary Cowie and Neil Findlay, return to their old lives with hopes of finding solace, but instead face challenges that test their tribal and personal loyalties. As the herring fishing industry struggles to recover, Mary and Neil must navigate the complexities of change and find new opportunities. The novel is rich in local characters, each with their own stories and struggles, including Aggie, Jonathan, and Eric, who all grapple with the shadow of the war. Through its thoughtful exploration of community, loyalty, and resilience, The Wind from the Sea offers a nuanced portrayal of life in a small Scottish town during a time of great upheaval.
