Gillespie and I is the eagerly awaited second novel by Jane Harris, author of the hugely acclaimed The Observations
As she sits in her Bloomsbury home, with her two birds for company, elderly Harriet Baxter sets out to relate the story of her acquaintance, nearly four decades previously, with Ned Gillespie, a talented artist who never achieved the fame she maintains he deserved.
Back in 1888, the young, art-loving, Harriet arrives in Glasgow at the time of the International Exhibition. After a chance encounter she befriends the Gillespie family and soon becomes a fixture in all of their lives. But when tragedy strikes - leading to a notorious criminal trial - the promise and certainties of this world all too rapidly disorientate into mystery and deception.
With 4.6 out of 5 stars in Waterstones Customer Reviews and 5 stars on Amazon.co.uk, Gillespie and I is a new must-read.
