O Segredo de Sophia

by Susanna Kearsley

First published 2012

Carrie McClelland stares at her blank page, her writing career stalled by creative paralysis. She travels to Scotland seeking inspiration and finds herself drawn to the ruins of Slain Castle. The crumbling stones feel like home. She also feels an unexpected pull toward Graham Keith, a man she has just met but who seems oddly familiar. Using the castle as her setting, Carrie begins writing about her ancestor Sophia. The words flow faster than ever before, the scenes vivid beyond her usual imagination. She wonders if she is truly creating fiction. As her story takes on its own momentum, Sophia's memories pull Carrie into eighteenth century intrigues and a love story lost across the centuries. Three hundred years have passed, but Sophia's secret demands to be told.
