About this book

O Caledonia is a wonderful mystery, fiction book. Janet is a young girl growing up in chilly Scotland during the 1940s and 50s and finds comfort in animals, books, and her imagination. The novel paints a vivid picture of a world where people, birds, and beasts move in mysterious ways. Amidst this backdrop, a strange death unfolds, defying expectations.

About the author

Elspeth Barker

O Caledonia opens with sixteen-year-old Janet lying dead on the great stone staircase of Auchnasaugh, below its stained-glass window, and then turns back to tell the short life that ended there, including the jackdaw chick, Claws, she raises into her closest companion. Elspeth Barker knew that world from the inside.
