Home Reviews Book An Algarve Affair

An Algarve Affair

This is an exciting ex-pat story which starts in the Scottish Highlands, moves to New York and centres around Southern Portugal.  We get a unique insight into the Portuguese Revolution and how it affects the lives of the central characters who are larger than life but totally believable.  Extravagant, exotic, and evocatively compelling is the tone of the book, spiced up with some inevitable passion as two complex characters come together and affect the lives of all around them in a most unexpected way.  At 520 odd pages long, this book wil fill your holiday suitcase or keep you up late at night - once you allow yourself to be hooked!

A first novel for this highly acclaimed non-fiction writer, born and educated in Edinburgh and who now lives and writes in the Scottish Borders
