Bittersweet sequel to "Flower of Scotland",
By A Customer
This review is from: An Apple from Eden (Charnwood Library) (Hardcover)
"An Appple From Eden" follows the lives of two extremely different Scottish families in post World War I Scotland, the working class Irish-Catholic Flynns of Glasgow and the Seatons on their inherited estate near Perth. While the Flynns struggle to eke out a living in the grimy slums, the Seatons and their friend, Andrew Drummond, head of the whisky distillery of the same name, lead a life of comparative ease. The families' stories become connected when Bridie, the Flynn's pretty and intelligent daughter, is employed as a domestic servant at The Haven, the Seaton's estate. Once again Emma Blair describes brilliantly the destructive forces of religion and class distinction which bring the story to a sobering and sad climax.
