1884. In a tenement room and kitchen in the town of Rutherglen, near Glasgow, a woman with stark injuries to her face and her mind, and a man who has recently arrived from America, spend the night together. As the night progresses, the couple discover that their past lives were once entwined in ways they hadn't realised, and that they are linked by a shared past; the eviction of Greenyards, Strathcarron in 1854. Separately and together the couple reflect on the shocking brutality of the glen's clearance thirty years earlier, exploring notions of love, commitment, trauma and happiness, and discovering what it means to take care of another person's soul.

The Highland Clearances are a dark period in history, when thousands of people were displaced and forced to emigrate or move to the cities. Here, by focusing on two characters, Magnusson explores both the diaspora and the city dwellers. The writing is very lyrical and the story moving. At its heart it is a love story and deeply satisfying. (
