In 1966 Fife, mixed marriages are unusual, never mind interracial ones, and West African Ellie Amadi, married to estate factor James soon witnesses the villagers' ignorance of outsiders. This novel cleverly explores historical racial prejudice in Scotland and may raise some difficult cultural issues, perhaps still applicable 45 years later.

This second thrilling volume of the Sun Song trilogy takes Sorlie to the floodlands of southern Esperaneo to discover that family, love and resilience can triumph against even the harshest regime.

It's the year 2089. The revolutions of the early 21st century have created a world divided between the Privileged few and the Native (Celtic) underclass. Sorlie lives a Privileged teenage life until it is smashed apart by the cruel death of his parents and he is forced to live with his ice-cold grandfather at a mysterious island penal colony.
