The MacIlveens sow and reap and marry with their neighbours.

Douglas Henshall reads Sam Hanna Bell’s iconic tale of love and high adventure in a Scottish settler community in 17th-century Ulster.

As the MacIlveens sow and reap and marry with their neighbours, Neil’s work at Ravara brings the Echlins profit and security – but Lady Seraphina is determined that  a penniless second son is no match for her daughter. When Neil is shown the road back to the narrow sea, forbidden to even send a letter of farewell, Anne takes action. News from Scotland offers the promise of a very different future.
