The Heather Moon

An English novel. Barrie MacDonald is eighteen and is growing up near Carlisle, close to Scotland, with a stern grandmother who hates the theatre and has let her believe that her mother was dead. When she learns that this mother, an actress, is very much alive, Barrie runs away to find her. She meets a wealthy Scot back from America, who takes her, together with a brother and sister who write travel novels, on a motor tour of Scotland. Told partly by Barrie herself, a fresh romantic comedy full of Scottish landscapes.
