A Scotch Verdict

Becky Burkhardt
Cynthia Goatley

A writer’s research into the lives of two 19th-century school mistresses, Jane Pirie and Marianne Woods, and the demise of their school, leads her to Edinburgh, Scotland, and into an obsessive dream world of speculation. Ella McBride leaves her partner, Jess, traveling to Scotland to write her book. Two centuries intertwine as Ella delves into the lives of Jane and Marianne, unfolding Ella’s story with it as the distant and not so distant past collide.
