Books by Linda Cracknell

A fictional history of a Perthshire woollen mill told by those locked in and out of its walls, such as a 19th century stonemason and rural suffragette. Each story is interwoven to create a haunting tale rooted in the struggle for women's rights, and the long-term impact of industrialisation upon rural Scotland.

'The Searching Glance' is the long-awaited second collection from one of Scotland's leading short story writers. The worlds inhabited by the characters in these stories are diverse. Linda Cracknell's stories are multi-layered and brooding with longing and loss, allowing the reader a 'searching glance' at characters' lives.
