Coming Soon

To find out where we are going, we sometimes need to find out where we came from.
Sister Maria-Fiore dei Fiori Montagna, who is suffering from an acute identity crisis, wants to know more about her own past, and after doing a DNA test, she discovers that she has a relative she didn’t know about. But her newfound family causes a bit of a rift between her and her flatmate, Antonia Collie. Can they work out their differences?

Bertie’s dream of moving to the promised land – the Dear Green Place – comes crashing down as he learns that he is to move to the far northeast – Peterhead, near Aberdeen, leaving poor Ranald Braveheart Macpherson a little heartbroken and lost. Will the boys ever be reunited in the Georgian splendour of New Town Edinburgh?

And for Bruce, it’s a case of history repeating itself. After getting all the attention he craves – landing a starring role in a new television series – the universe has one way of putting him in his place. Even in modern Scotland, lurking Calvinist tendencies might still strike.
