"How far would you go to make your lover's dreams come true?"Spirited Perdita Miggs is thrilled when her bland marine-biologist husband, Perry, gets a grant to spend the summer studying Loch Ness. Home to her alma mater, Scotland is also the place where seventeen years ago Perdita fell in love with Highland poet Andrew Macgruer.At the bed-and-breakfast where Perdita and Perry are staying lives an eccentric pair of sisters, Kira and Catitlin. Among the unexpected guests are Breton Trent, Kira's old flame, and Andrew, whose allure has only improved with age.Recognizing in Kira's thwarted love an example of her own, Perdita works to bring the couple together again. In the process she finds herself growing ever closer to Andrew. Perry's subsequent anguish, however, incidentally coincides with an illness that seems to affect her heart. As three sets of love triangles hurtle toward final conclusions, the marine biologist's quest for the legendary creature of Loch Ness becomes the central metaphor for the secrets that glide beneath the surface of us all.

I can’t discuss the gimmicks without disclosing plot. I do think they border on gimmicks, though, and I know that is a derogatory term, but that’s my opinion. I did feel manipulated and almost lied to at times, and part of that feeling is attributable to the fact that the author uses an omniscient viewpoint for about a third of the novel, and we are inside the head of some of the characters who are keeping secrets, without those secrets being revealed to the reader. Not as bad as lying to the reader, but I still felt manipulated by the time it was all over - not the pleasant reading experience the author intended, I think.
I still recommend it though, and I highly recommend Dr. Corrigan’s workshop and his book on writing the novel. He has some excellent insight into the novel that I have not seen elsewhere, especially on focus, narrative drive, and subordination. (
