What is Missing Pieces about?
Inspired by the 1831 discovery of a hoard of priceless chess pieces on a remote Scottish Island, Missing Pieces tells the story of four women who created and protected the now famous artefacts. When Marianne is coerced into leaving the security of her comfortable London life to curate an exhibition on the Isle of Lewis, she uncovers her own ancestral connection to the mysterious island. Her eerie connections to the past introduce us to Magrit, the Icelandic artisan, beholden to a power-hungry Bishop, Morven, the rescuer, who seeks intimacy with a mysterious stranger and Mhairi, the negotiator, fighting a greedy landlord to stave off starvation and eviction. Missing Pieces is a story about women's determination, passion and cunning and the power of love to right the wrongs of the past. 'Spanning centuries and cultures, this gripping and evocative mystery deftly slips between present and past invoking a vivid sense of place around strong characters.' — Sophie Masson, award-winning author of The Hunt for Ned Kelly 'Beautifully written, expertly weaving the history of these fascinating artefacts across time, evoking a vivid sense of place.' — Stacey Howard, Mockingbird Lounge, bookshop
