A compelling family drama of love and loss, set deep in our stone age past
Margaret Elphinstone is the author of nine previous novels, including Light, Voyageurs and The Sea Road. She lives in Glasgow.
A brilliant fictional evocation of a time that's usually given short shrift in history books . . . At the core of The Gathering Night is a very human story, a complex tale of love, revenge, murder and honour, a book that managed to be both gripping in terms of plot, engaging with character psychology and a hugely evocative exploration of time and place.
