Synopsis
The author was one of the most significant Scottish writers of the present century and this was his final novel. He uses it, through a tale of emotional and physical turmoil, to raise some impossible questions about the mystery of life. The action, both deeply tragic and ironically humorous, takes place against the backdrop of the remote coastal Highlands where the influences of nature and Celtic tradition propel the protagonists to their destiny. The questions remain unanswered but the novel ends with a final glimmer of hope and renewal.

From the Back Cover
The central character of this complex novel is Menzies, a musical genius, who, after the agonies of a personal tragedy, questions the very meaning of existence. His emotional turmoil is seen through the eyes of a Scottish anthropologist returning to the Highlands and able to observe the life he finds there at two levels, the tangible and obvious level and 'the other landscape' beyond it.
Tensions between the local community and the outsiders at the Hotel - separate groups to both of which the anthropologist sometimes belongs - form a sub-plot of 'two cultures in conflict'. The action, both deeply tragic and ironically humorous, takes places against the backdrop of the remote coastal Highlands where the influence of nature and Celtic tradition propel the protagonists to their destiny.
