Midhowe

Midhowe is the final book in a trilogy that began with After Orcadia and continued with Hand Held. Here, the focus shifts to a Neolithic tomb on the south-west shore of Rousay, just down the coast from the Iron Age Broch which shares the name. 

Midhowe is an attempt to get under the skin of this remarkable place. We have tried to imagine how the building and use of the tomb allowed people to reconcile the brief candle of their lives with the past, and with the complex spiritual and political worlds in which they lived.
