About the Book

Plaid Around the Mountain is set in Montreal in 1804 - an explosive Napoleonic time in a still-French city. Montreal backgrounds another kind of battle in that year: the great Scottish fur merchants struggle to block the way of Lord Selkirk´s settlement schemes. When a passionate, witty young English woman, eager for freedom, marries one of Selkirk´s agents and comes to Montreal, she finds herself involved in a tangle of French-Scottish-American intrigues.
