The 'Scots Brigade,' and Other Tales
1882
The Scots Brigade, and Other Tales captures the aching drama of young love condemned by those who should protect it. Lieutenant Lewie Baronald, serving in the famed Scottish regiment of the Dutch Republic, has found everything in Dolores, daughter of a countess - except her uncle's blessing. General Kinloch, haunted by his own romantic disappointments, wields his authority like a weapon, determined to separate the lovers by sending Lewie to foreign service. As political clouds gather over Holland, with war between Britain and the Dutch Republic threatening the Brigade itself, the lovers face a terrible question: can duty to country survive when it means abandoning the one person who makes life worth living? Grant's historical eye is precise, his understanding of duty and desire timeless, and his secondary tales enrich this central tragedy of a young man caught between loyalty to blood and the demands of his own heart.
