Gwen Kirkwood I can thoroughly recommend One Sweet Moment by Maggie Craig. It is an exciting and gritty story taking us from the slums beneath the Edinburgh Bridges to the quality of the New Town, from hard work and poverty to the sweetest of sweet moments. It combines good fiction with scrupulous historical research

Gwen Kirkwood I really enjoyed Trade Winds by Christina Courtenay, and her latest book Scarlet Kimono.
