What is the real story behind the young man who
comes to Glen Lyon and begins building a house with his
own hands. He could be an early farmer; he could be a
clansman; he could be a survivor of Culloden. It's only
when Somerled Stewart comes down after the winter to the
village and sets eyes on Anna, the daughter of the
blacksmith, that the mists begin to clear. Yet, although
this story settles somewhere in the 20th century,
Somerled Stewart himself always remains something of a
timeless figure - his own ancestor. He longs to build a
perfect world about him of wood and stone, as he yearns
to create a flawless happiness with Anna, his bride. He
must even find the gold for her wedding ring from the
river; he could not bear the thought of buying it. It is
only when he returns for a few days with his sister to
the west coast home where they grew up that we begin to
understand the forces that drive him. Both siblings are
returning to a place that holds memories of deep
unhappiness. The perfect beauty of the place masks the
darkness that lies within for each of them. When
Somerled learns that Anna is to have a child, he fears
that all that haunts him will be passed on to the next
generation. He is profoundly aware that the perfect
world he longs to build keeps breaking, and that often
the flaws are in his own hands. In the end, the answers
he seeks to find are contained in the glen itself.
