Watch Over Me

A Scottish Love Affair
‘Ten years ago, I was fresh out of university and teaching in secondary schools back home in Italy. I applied for a summer job in Dublin in a language school, teaching English to Italian students. There I met Ross. Initially, I didn’t have a clue what he was saying because of his charming Glasgow accent, but eventually I agreed to go out with him. We went to a Spanish restaurant where we didn’t eat a thing, we were both so nervous! He later won me over by making me Ovaltine, quoting Sorley McLean and generally being Ross. We moved in together after six weeks. I fell in love with Glasgow and with Scotland, and now there’s nowhere I’d rather be. Everyone knows that Scots and Italians are a winning combination...’ –

Eilidh Lawson’s life is in crisis. Years of failed fertility treatments, a cheating husband and an oppressive family have pushed her to the limits. At the end of her tether, she runs away to the one place she thinks she can find solace – her childhood home in the Highlands.
There, as she struggles to mend her broken life, she reconnects with her childhood friend Jamie McAnena, who is trying to raise his daughter Maisie alone. After Maisie’s mother left to pursue a career in London and Jamie’s own mother, Elizabeth, passed away, he has resigned himself to being a family of two.
But sometimes there is more to a story than meets the eye. Despite their reluctance, curious circumstances keep bringing Jamie and Eilidh together. For even when it seems all is lost, help can come from the most extraordinary places.
An ethereal and beautifully written debut novel, Watch Over Me is a poignant story about letting go and moving on – with a little help from beyond the grave.
