His latest book, God Save the King: The sacred nature of the monarchy, is published by Darton, Longman & Todd at £8.99 (Church Times Bookshop £8.09) (Comment, 28 April). The Revd Professor Ian Bradley is Emeritus Professor of Cultural and Spiritual History at the University of St Andrews. The author now lives in the Upper Spey Valley, in the Highlands, which provides the setting for Of Stone and Sky, her second novel.
She was born in Kathmandu and brought up in Nepal, India, and Pakistan, where her Anglican Australian parents worked as Wycliffe Bible Translators. Merryn Glover is a novelist and radio dramatist. In the book, the author covers a range of themes relevant to the use of the Highlands, including land ownership, ecology, and the challenges facing sheep-farming. Mo is a Church of Scotland minister, and her voice becomes the book’s moral compass. One of the main narrators of this modern-day redemptive tale is Mo, the missing shepherd’s foster-sister. At the heart of this multi-generational saga is the mystery of the disappearance of the Highland shepherd Colvin Munro. Of Stone and Sky is a novel set in the hills and straths of the Scottish Highlands. Of Stone and Sky is published by Birlinn and is available from the Church Times Bookshop for £8.99. On this Book Club Podcast, Ian Bradley, who has written an essay about the book in this week's Church Times, interviews the author. This month’s Church Times Book Club choice is Of Stone and Sky by Merryn Glover.
