Description

A mother who cannot face her future.

A daughter who cannot escape her past.

Lady Elisabeth Kerr is a keeper of secrets. A Highlander by birth and a Lowlander by marriage, she honors the auld ways, even as doubts and fears stir deep within her. Her husband, Lord Donald, has secrets of his own, well hidden from the household, yet whispered among the town gossips. His mother, the dowager Lady Marjory, hides gold beneath her floor and guilt inside her heart. Though her two abiding passions are maintaining her place in society and coddling her grown sons, Marjory’s many regrets, buried in Greyfriars Churchyard, continue to plague her.

One by one the Kerr family secrets begin to surface, even as bonny Prince Charlie and his rebel army ride into Edinburgh in September 1745, intent on capturing the crown.

A timeless story of love and betrayal, loss and redemption, flickering against the vivid backdrop of 18th-century Scotland, Here Burns My Candle illumines the dark side of human nature, even as hope, the brightest of tapers, lights the way home.

Includes a bonus PDF with a listener's guide, glossary, and map

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Higgs is a stickler for period authenticity and has done her homework on history and dialect. Fans have been waiting five years for this novel and will not be disappointed." (Publishers Weekly)

SO ENGAGING read by the author

100% worth the buy. The author reads so theatrically in the best way possible. I don't know how she does it but all the voices are different and make sense with the storyline. Its a great novel as it is, and then she reads it just so you'll get totally into the story. I loved it!! there's also a second one in the series that I just purchased as well!

God-inspired tale based on the book of Ruth

I loved this creative work blending true historical events and some of the characters in them with fictional characters based on the themes of the Bible story book of Ruth. can't wait to read the next book in this series.
