This new novel by Margaret Elphinstone, former Professor of Creative Writing at Strathclyde, is, like much of her other work, ‘mostly historical and about people living on “the edge”’, as she describes it herself, which can also seem similar to science fiction. Its appearance marks her return to long form story-telling after a period of fifteen years. […] The post ‘Lost People’, by Margaret Elphinstone appeared first on The Bottle Imp.
