Sinossi

In the Morning of Time is a compelling narrative that delves into the mystical and primal elements of human existence, encapsulating the profound connection between nature and the human spirit. Roberts employs a rich and evocative literary style, characterized by lush imagery and lyrical prose that transport readers to the dawn of civilization. The text reflects the literary context of early 20th-century Canadian literature, intertwining themes of indigenous cultures, the landscape's untamed beauty, and the philosophical musings on time and existence, which were burgeoning during the period. Charles G. D. Sir Roberts was not only a celebrated poet but also a writer profoundly influenced by his engagement with Canada's vast wilderness and indigenous history. An accomplished figure in the Canadian literary scene, Roberts's experiences as a naturalist and his passion for Canadian identity profoundly shaped his creative vision. His intimate understanding of the land and its peoples resonates throughout this work, illustrating a deep-seated reverence for the past and its impact on the present. This book is recommended for readers seeking an introspective exploration of humanity's origins and its intrinsic relationship with nature. Roberts's masterful storytelling and philosophical insights invite contemplation, making it a pivotal addition to any literary collection.

    Praise for Elena Collins: 
    'A profoundly moving, beautifully written and emotional story that skilfully combines two time frames into one unputdownable book. I was completely immersed in Grace’s story from the beginning: despite it taking place 400 years ago. The modern day storyline was also delightful with some wonderful characters. In short a wonderful book by a fabulous author, very highly recommended' Louise Douglas 
    'With two storylines beautifully woven together to create a seamless tale of love, loss, betrayal and, above all, hope, it’s a must-read. Collins’s detailed knowledge of the period trickles through the tale wrapping the reader in a vivid shifting world as it moves between the 14th century and present day. Cleverly researched and exquisitely written, The Lady of The Loch is a timeless story of hope, family and love. I loved it' Alexandra Walsh 
    'Such a lovely story of love, hardship, loss & renewal. Heartbreaking yet comforting. A place where I would love to go to and be lost in its memories' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

    Lord Julian Caldicott is summoned to the country home of a family friend to look for a prize foxhound who’s gone missing. The purloined canine turns out to be only the tail of a series of puzzles involving family secrets, slander, blackmail, and fraud. Matters grow more baffling when Julian is told to drop the investigation, though suspects abound, motives are multiplying apace, and a large sum of money has come into play. 
    Julian survives an attempt on his life, and endures slights to his honor rather than give up on his objective. Before the truth is revealed–and the hound brought safely home–he will have to choose between protecting his only surviving brother from ruin, or allowing a scoundrel to get away with the next thing to murder.
