Stranger on Rhanna - Softcover

Christine Marion Fraser is one of Scotland's best-selling authors, outselling even Catherine Cookson, with world-wide readership and translations into many foreign languages. She is the author of the much-loved Rhanna series. Second youngest of a large family, she soon learned independence during childhood years spent in the post-war Govan district of Glasgow. Chris now lives in Argyll with her husband.

Despite the title, this is not a suspense story, but rather a tale about a small island in the Scottish Hebrides and the two talented musicians who come separately to the island and share both a secret and a special relationship. Actress Vivien Heilbron does a brillant job portraying the island characters and relaying the folkways and foibles of the people that make them unique and endearing. She brings the robust personage of Mama Jodl to life, complete with German accent and peremptory manner. Not much really happens in this novel, but Heilbron's talent keeps one listening to the rustic happenings all the way to the end.
