Synopsis

After joining the Lovat Scouts at the outbreak of the Second World War, Donald Angus Gillies is sent on a mission to the Alps, where he meets Françoise, a young French Canadian SOE agent. The pair immediately form a close bond, but when Françoise is injured and captured, Donald realises his feelings for her are much stronger. After desperate attempts to find her, he has given up all hope. But a posting to Canada leads to some remarkable news, not just about Françoise but also about his own family.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Carol

This is an easy read, rather predictable and unlike the first Ardnish book, has a happy ending. Though it could easily have gone wrong right up to the last few pages. MacDonald has a nice way of imbedding the family history of Scotland so don’t read this if you don’t like nostalgia and/or Scotland.......more

We Faught for Ardnish Really enjoyed the book, I have also read the first Ardnish book, I know the area well and it brings back all sorts of lovely memories that we can't visit this year because of this terrible virus.......more
