Praise for Elena Collins: 
'A profoundly moving, beautifully written and emotional story that skilfully combines two time frames into one unputdownable book.

In short a wonderful book by a fabulous author, very highly recommended.' Louise Douglas

Although safe for now, the people of Scotland are fighting hard for their independence, and the threat of the English hangs heavy over the land.

Praise for Elena Collins: 
'Very highly recommended.’ Louise Douglas 
'The Lady of The Loch held me spellbound from the first page to the last. With two storylines beautifully woven together to create a seamless tale of love, loss, betrayal and, above all, hope, it’s a must-read. Collins’s detailed knowledge of the period trickles through the tale wrapping the reader in a vivid shifting world as it moves between the 14th century and present day. Cleverly researched and exquisitely written, The Lady of The Loch is a timeless story of hope, family and love. I loved it.' Alexandra Walsh 
What readers are saying about Elena Collins: 
‘I couldn't put it down and I cried at the end. A terrific read.’ 
‘A rollercoaster of emotions reading this book...from the life of a young woman let down in her relationship (we've all been there)! running parallel to the complete un-justified vitriol against a young woman in the late 1600's. It was amazing, a very powerful novel. Brilliant.’ 
‘A book that that left me tearful at the end, but a very good story that had me hooked from the first page. Well thought out and the characters very believable.’ 
‘Loved this book so much, the story grips you from start to finish, leaving you wishing for more of the story to magically appear so that it never ends.’ 
‘Absolutely delightful read! One found oneself utterly captivated by the characters - of flesh & spirit alike - the Author has the ability to conjure a physical reaction in the reader - of a scent or a chill - a rare gift.’ 
‘Stunning. Loved this book. Interesting, really fabulous read that bought lots of emotion, gladness, spookiness, history and sadness with lovely clever story-telling. I loved it.’
