A Bridge in Time

The oldest village in Scotland is about to be invaded—it is 1853 and the railway is coming to Camptounfoot. Emma Jane Wylie is determined to fight for the realization of her father's dream—the construction of the railway bridge that will carry the new track southwards. Christopher Wylie, unwell and bankrupt, knew this venture would be his last, so designed a bridge of exceptional grace and beauty, its soaring arches spanning the valley on nineteen pillars. But during the two years of its construction, the project is beset by drama and tragedy: cholera rages, the men down tools, murder and conspiracy are in the air—and then a landslide threatens to destroy all their endeavors. Inspired by her father's vision, and with a strength of mind and resolve at odds with her Victorian upbringing Emma Jane takes on the world—and is determined to win.
