A Shiver

Rob is falling in love for the very first time in his life. It is something that he never thought would happen after all he is over forty now and not wearing all that well. Never the less he is, and falling in love deeply, hopelessly and completely with a beautiful, mysterious Canadian girl that he has only just met. 
Trying to impress this smart and wonderful girl they take a trip to the ancient village of Kilmartin, a sleepy picturesque village nestled between the hills of mid-Argyll, in the western highlands of Scotland. 
There he begins to realise that he has been in love with this girl that he has just met for centuries untold. He has always loved this outsider, this woman from afar and again he must fight for her love just as he has throughout the ages.

As time passes, everything changes. The world we live in is in turmoil, we stampede from one crisis to the next, never heeding the grand design, If indeed there is one. Imagine that nothing changes but the now or the date. The now we know here and today is the same as it always was, the same as it always will be. Has not the world always suffered from turmoil, are our lives not the same as those who have gone before us with little more than superficial differences? This is an explanation of time, the characters essentially the same though they live centuries apart, their thoughts, hopes and fears differ little from the reality of today, their goals essentially the same; to eat, have happy lives, to love and be loved, to search endlessly for a contentment that can never be realised. As usual Raymond Walker has brought these unanswered questions to life in an exciting tale of love, passion and loss, Romance and war that will keep every reader mesmerised from the very first pages to the dramatic conclusion.
