Full Description
Never underestimate a librarian.
Fifty-something librarian Shona McMonagle is a proud former pupil of the Marcia Blaine School for Girls with a deep loathing for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, which she thinks gives her alma mater a bad name.
It's 1788, and Shona has travelled back in time and turned up in the Assembly Rooms. Edinburgh society is lionising Burns on his second visit to the capital. He'd rather be in Ayrshire with Jean, but his publisher has made him go on tour and his publicist has told him to adopt the persona of A Lad to boost interest. His publicist is in fact Nancy McLehose, Clarinda; she has framed Mistress Blaine for murdering a coachman, and condemned her to the Tollbooth.
Shona enlists the help of a teenage Walter Scott, but the plot continues to thicken. What will happen to the Enlightenment, and to these resourceful women?
