Jessamine by Shani Struthers

Jessamine by Shani Struthers

Jessamin Wade's husband is dead - a death she feels wholly responsible for. As a way of coping with her grief, she keeps him 'alive' in her imagination - talking to him everyday, laughing with him, remembering the good times they had together. She thinks she will 'hear' him better if she goes somewhere quieter, away from the hustle and bustle of her hometown, Brighton. Her destination is Glenelk in the Highlands of Scotland, a region her grandfather hailed from and the subject of a much-loved painting from her childhood.

Arriving in the village late at night, it is a bleak and forbidding place. However, the house she is renting - Skye Croft - is warm and welcoming. Quickly she meets the locals. Her landlord, Fionnlagh Maccaillin, is an ex-army man with obvious and not so obvious injuries. Maggie, who runs the village shop, is also an enigma, startling her with her strange 'insights'. But it is Stan she instantly connects with. Maccaillin's grandfather and a frail, old man, he is grief-stricken from the recent loss of his beloved Beth.

All four are caught in the past. All four are unable to let go. Their lives entwining in mysterious ways, can they help each other to move on or will they always belong to the ghosts that haunt them?

"She has a magical way with prose, her descriptions are sublime, and the reader is submerged into the emotion of every scene" Carol; "Another masterpiece from Shani." Pat Hall; "I vowed never to read romance ever again but Shani Struthers tempted me to read one after nearly 40 years." Uzma Fray; "This book had me enthralled, bewitched even with some of the wonderful descriptive passages. I was completely at its mercy throughout." Ashrae Top 500 Reviewer; "I absolutely loved this book. The author is so descriptive of effects, emotions, and scenery. I was with the main character all through the story and cried near the end." Hannahlou; "Reminiscent in parts of Wuthering heights and even Jane Eyre in places." Laura Tawn; "Absolutely brilliant. Shani Struthers reminds the reader that love never really dies." Lindy Stem

Shani Struthers was born and raised in Brighton and is the author of 10 supernatural thrillers (so far), some set in England and others in far-flung countries such as Venice and America. She weaves this knowledge throughout her novels, often drawing on real-life experiences from persons she has known and well-known Occult personalities such as Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune, who she grew up with an understanding of the Occult and alternative viewpoints on religion. Her Psychic Surveys series, which is written from the perspective of a group of psychics that specialize in domestic spiritual clearance, has become a worldwide bestseller on Amazon. This Haunted World, her new series, is a collection of stand-alone books set in and around the world's most haunted locations, and weaves fact with fiction once more. In both the UK and the US, they have topped the Amazon genre charts. She is a full-time author and a member of Storyland Press and Writers Reach, two local and national author cooperatives through which all of her novels are published.
