Description: Mungo's wife is the extroverted and excessively cheerful Bess, too busy cracking jokes or playing whist to give her husband's misery any sympathy and dismissing his vague intellectual, imaginative and amorous ambitions as pointless dreams. Mungo finds himself bound to her not so much by love and loyalty as by the many trivial commonplaces of married life. When Bess is stricken by cancer, Mungo sees an opportunity for him to escape both his loveless marriage and his tyrannical conscience. As Mungo seizes this chance, his actions have far-reaching effects which he had never imagined; his eldest son follows his father's example into betrayal and abandons his pregnant girlfriend; his eighteen-year-old daughter becomes emotionally numb to the situation; his younger son, just twelve-years-old, develops an intense hatred towards his father and turns his back on the family, moving away to live with relatives. Mungo is left looking at the pieces of his broken family. The readers are pulled into a story which has well drawn characters, a strong sense of place and real people involved in real situations. The complex themes of betrayal and conscience are explored by Jenkins with precision and with a delightfully wicked sense of humour.

    Description: As satisfying as a tumbler of single malt on a rainy afternoon, this spectacular tour across the Scottish landscape shows how the country's premier whisky-makers are creating exquisite beverages using new models of responsible stewardship for their five-hundred-year-old industry. Horst A. Friedrichs and Stuart Husband are masters of visual storytelling, plumbing their subjects' sumptuous depths with arresting photography and evocative texts. Now they turn their attention to scotch whisky, undertaking a road trip of 8,000 miles across Scotland to understand the world's obsession with this iconic elixir. Each distillery is introduced with Husband's engaging texts and illustrated with Friedrich's luscious photographs of the people who work there, the breathtaking scenery, the machinery, barrels, fields, grains, copper, and glassware that go into making fine scotch. They travel from Springbank distillery in Campbeltown via the Isle of Harris to Ardbeg on the Isle of Islay; they traverse the Lowlands and explore legendary Speyside single malts. Ranging from ancient floor maltings to twenty-first century single malts being produced by a new generation of pioneers, this book shows that there are endless reasons and ways to enjoy scotch; and that for an industry steeped in history and committed to honoring the land and its people, the future is bright.
