Historical Novels Review
Set in the 1930s and 1940s Maggie Jordan traces the life of a young Scottish woman from the carpet mills of Glasgow to the battlefields of the Spanish Civil War.
When most of Maggie Jordan's family are killed in a freak flood in the small coastal village of Heymouth, she is forced to find work in one of Glasgow's carpet mills. She becomes engaged to Nevil Sanderson, who suddenly decides he must go to Spain and join the Republicans in their fight against Franco.
Although she struggles on without him, Maggie eventually realises her place is by his side and journeys to Spain to join him. But the newly promoted Nevil has become distant and ruthless, and is fiercely jealous of her new friendship with American journalist Howard Taft.
Years later, married and with an eight-year-old daughter, Maggie has returned to Glasgow. Astonished when Howard reappears, bringing light and laughter back into her life, she is forced to make decisions – decisions which threaten to destroy even the vibrant and courageous Maggie Jordan.
