Hame, n. Scottish form of ‘home’: a valued place regarded as a
refuge or place of originIn the wake of the breakdown of her
relationship, Mhairi McPhail dismantles her life in New York and
moves with her 9-year-old daughter, Agnes, to the remote Scottish
island of Fascaray. Mhairi has been commissioned to write a
biography of the late Bard of Fascaray, Grigor McWatt, a
cantankerous poet with an international reputation.But who was
Grigor McWatt? Details of his past – his tough childhood and his
war years as a commando – are elusive, and there is evidence of a
mysterious love affair which Mhairi is determined to investigate.
As she struggles to adapt to her new life, and put her own troubled
past behind her, Mhairi begins to unearth the astonishing secret
history of the poet regarded by many as the custodian of Fascaray’s
– and Scotland’s – soul.A dazzling, kaleidoscope of a novel, Hame
layers extracts from Mhairi’s journal, Grigor’s letters and poems
and his evocative writing about the island into a compelling
narrative that explores identity, love and the universal quest for
home.
