News of the Dead
Glen Conach holds the stories of three different eras, linked by location, an ancient manuscript, and echoes travelling across time. In ancient Pictland, the Christian hermit Conach contemplates God and nature, and prepares himself for sacrifice. Legends about him are recorded in the Book of Conach. Generations later, Charles Kirkliston Gibb is drawn to the Glen. In the present day, young Lachie whispers to Maja of a ghost he thinks he has seen. News of the Dead is a captivating exploration of refuge, retreat and the reception of strangers.
