A tale inspired by real events of sisterhood, heartbreak and resilience in a Highland village home front in World War II Scotland.
Clova, Scotland, 1942. As World War II roars overseas, sisters Nell and Effie Anderson live together in the old schoolhouse of their quiet glen. Effie is a teacher, while Nell works as a postwoman, delivering news—often of the worst—from the frontline to her neighbors. Though they love and care for one another, unspoken tensions and mysteries put distance between them.
When a plane carrying Canadian and British soldiers crashes over their village, the only survivor stumbles to their door. In his pocket is a photo that will set in motion a chain of events threatening to uncover their family’s troubling past.
Told across a dual timeline of the sisters’ adult years and their adolescence during World War I, Whispers in the Glen is a novel about secrets, lies, and the dangers of keeping them hidden.
