This is my new book (26/026). It's the 1st time in years that I'll be published as 'Shona' rather than 'S.G.'and I am very happy to be reclaiming my name. It's about a reading society formed in a northern Scottish town in the 1830s. Drama ensues. (My mother-in-law crocheted the shawl 🧶)

“Man is not truly one but truly two.” Robert Louis Stevenson, Scottish writer, born #OTD 1850, author of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde 1886. Dr Jekyll’s house probably based on dual-entrance London house of surgeon & anatomist Dr John Hunter: corpses delivered at back for dissection. Sargent 1887 Taft Museum

libro.fm/audiobooks/9... Absolutely cannot recommend this book, Hawthorn, A Scottish Ghost Story, by Elaine Thomson, highly enough. A perfectly weighted classic in the style of Robert Louis Stevenson, and a delight to listen to, narrated here by Lorne MacNaughton. @elainethomson123.bsky.social
