An awarding-winning biographer goes to Scotland to escape his ex-wife and to write a biography of a doctor in the Boer War who his clan considers a true hero. The more the biographer probes, however, he finds considerable misinformation, purposely altered, to make the doctor seem better than he was. He did good things and treasonous things. The plot is on two levels--the biographer trying to sort out fact from fiction and the Boer War battlefields where the "facts" actually reside. He must do this through letters, written records, and word of mouth, the latter depending upon whether the person likes or dislikes the man or the clan. A spectacular read with a stunning ending. When it first was published in 1986, it was a Book-of-the-Month Club Featured selection. Published in hardback by Simon & Schuster, in paperback by Penguin, and opn audio by Recorded Books.
