Description
We’ve all done it—gone haring off after one thing and found entirely another—but surely not as disastrously as Henry. Antagonistic London brothers, Henry and Peter, each rush to Inverness after receiving mysterious letters. Henry hopes for love. Peter is on the trail of genius Gaelic bard Calum Calum, believed by the world to be dead. Troubled Elena is also drawn to the Highlands, seeking revenge on el malo, the evil one, the Scottish gunrunner who betrayed her family during the Spanish Civil War. Their three destinies are entwined, and each has a difficult truth to face in this hilarious comedy of errors.
