The year is 1948. The place: the Scottish Isle of Jura.
A man has fallen out of the sky and landed on the isle to find a British writer of some distinction living in a farmhouse on the northern tip. The writer is in dire straits, suffering the pain and terminal effects of tuberculosis while working feverishly away on his masterpiece.
Who is he?
And why is it essential that his work survive for future generations? Dark forces, we soon discover, are at play-forces out to destroy all traces of the man's life and his work. The stakes are higher than we can possibly imagine because, as the man on the isle has written:
Those who own the past own the future, and those who own the present own the past.
Will the writer and his past be erased from history?
Man on the Isle of Jura
is a riveting, provocative story of magical realism that takes us on a journey that straddles the worlds of past, present, and future. As readers, we come away from the narrative having touched and seen worlds we've never felt or imagined before.
