A Sparkle of Salt: When James Lowrie returns to the Scottish fishing village of Buckie at the end of World War I, it can only reignite the embers of old family feuds. James and his sister Bethany find themselves battling over her son Adam: Bethany wants him to find a life far from Buckie - and away from the danger of discovering the dark family secrets; James, meanwhile, sees Adam as the natural successor to his beloved steam drifter the Fidelity, and a fisherman's life. But Adam is more interested in a life of his own - and the day must come when he has to choose between pleasing his mother or following the man he knows as his uncle.
