- Summary
- "Alyson Thompson has left the city for a simpler life on an abandoned farm with her lover Walker, a potter. Wandering there, she uncovers, in the ruins of a log cabin, the writings of a young woman who lived more than a hundred years before." "Into Alyson's story, Merilyn Simonds weaves the tale of Margaret MacBayne, who, with her family, left behind hardship in a seaside Scottish town in the hope of building a new home in the Canadian wilderness. Margaret, an expert on herbs, contemplates revenge when her brothers rob her of her happiness. When Alyson, too, suffers great loss, she must decide if retribution is worth the price." "The Holding is psychologically complex and Simonds brings us on an intimate journey of discovery into the things we keep most guarded, the truths of which often lie in unexpected places."--BOOK JACKET.
