An omnibus edition of two bestselling Emma Blair Scottish sagas. In "An Apple from Eden", Bridie gets a job as a maid and falls in love with her employer's brother's stepson - leading to tragedy. In "Goodnight, Sweet Prince", the story of the Drummon family begun in "Flower of Scotland", continues.
AN APPLE FROM EDEN: Bridie gets a job as a maid on Sir Ian Seaton's estate and, much against her better judgement, falls in love with Sir Ian's brother's step-son, also called Ian. Ian optimistically feels that his father will understand and let them marry but Bridie expects what she gets - dismissal, with Ian threatened with the loss of his inheritance. Ian then gets involved with a burglary on the estate and is killed and Bridie, on hearing this, deciding she can't live without him, goes out into the snow, lies by his grave and freezes to death. GOODNIGHT, SWEET PRINCE: The continuing story of the Drummond family which began in FLOWER OF SCOTLAND. Andrew and Rose are running the distillery and have given a job to Jack's son, Tommy. Tommy hates the work and longs to be a pilot but Jack, horribly disfigured after the first war, forbids it. The onset of the new war sweeps aside any such decision.Andrew and Rose must cope with the loss of their baby. As Rose's behaviour becomes increasingly bizarre, Andrew must also face up to his own failing health.
