Lark Returning: A gripping 19th Century Scottish family saga

Two women, generations apart, bound by the same wild hills – and the same yearning for freedom.

In the shadow of the Great War, beloved music hall singer and special forces sweetheart Lark longs to escape the spotlight and find peace in Scotland’s rugged Border country. There, she seeks a fresh start far from the pressures of stardom. But the land holds echoes of the past – of her great-grandmother Jane, who once fled to these same hills in 1812, seeking solace from a life of sorrow.

As Lark uncovers Jane’s hidden history, she must decide whether to follow her heart or remain tethered to the life she left behind.

A sweeping, emotional multigenerational saga of love, resilience, and rediscovery – perfect for fans of Val Wood and Madalyn Morgan.

Elisabeth McNeill was born in Fife and spent her childhood in Scotland. She is a journalist and prolific writer of fiction and non-fiction.
