King´s Royal

Více o knize

The Scottish landscape, with its mountains, heaths, wild coastlines, and dreamy lakes, alongside the burgeoning trading city of Glasgow, serves as the backdrop for dramatic events. The Kings are a typical upper-middle-class family of the late Victorian era, owning a prosperous whisky distillery and several pubs. Fergus King, the head of the family, manages the business with a firm hand. However, his absolute control over both business and family is gradually undermined: the schemes of his son-in-law pose challenges, as do the revolutionary ideas of his son James. Most threatening of all is a potential scandal involving his son Robert and his love for a Catholic girl, which jeopardizes the family's peace.
