A Requiem at the Loch : A story of love, loss and reflection - Andrew Goss

When former overseas aid worker John Cousins relocates to the Scottish Highlands, he hopes to forget the troubles of the world and enjoy the rugged natural beauty of its north-west Atlantic coastline. Yet here, amid the peace and remoteness of this timeless landscape, it seems as though all the threads and loose ends of his life are drawn towards a single point of contemplation. In the shadow of the mountains that cradle the deep, dark waters of Loch Ewe, the ghosts of his past resurface as he seeks, at last, to lay them to rest and make sense of his life. But he discovers that the loch echoes with secrets of its own from a dramatic wartime past, related by the elderly lady he befriends; secrets that still reverberate through the small communities along its shores. "Cuimhnich orm, a ghr�idh. remember me, my love."
