Beth Bristow's New Book "Tragedy of the Blood" is a Riveting Work of Historical Fiction Bringing the Tragic History of the Clearances of the Scottish Highlands to Life
Recent release "Tragedy of the Blood" from Page Publishing author Beth Bristow is a sweeping historical novel detailing the terrible true story of the families of the Highlanders who died in the Battle of Culloden. It is a tale of love, heartbreak during the time of the forced exodus of the Scottish people from their homeland.
NIXA, Mo., April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Beth Bristow, a certified family counselor, adoption specialist, and member of Clan Cameron of the Highlands of Scotland living with her husband, Ken, in southern Missouri, has completed her book "Tragedy of the Blood": an epic tale that vividly captures the lives, tragedies, and resilience of the Scottish people in the face of their relentless persecution at the hands of King George II of England.
History tells the story of the Battle of Culloden, however, the true story of the Clearances has been all but deleted from history altogether. "An Ethnic Cleansing" as it was called, took place that required all men, women, and children to leave their homeland without belongings, money or dignity.
The Highlanders left Scotland for countries which were foreign to them: Canada's Nova Scotia, Australia, New Zealand, and America. They brought with them the Gaelic language of the Highlands and the sadness of people who had been disowned by the English government. The Clearances were shameful, hidden, not written about and not spoken of. Tragedy of the Blood tells the stories handed down from one generation to the next. It is time for their stories to be told so others will know of the 'ethnic cleansing of Scotland' and the true meaning of those words.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Beth Bristow's book is an utterly compelling work of historical fiction that brings a heartbreaking period in Scottish history to vivid life for modern readers.
Readers who wish to experience this engrossing work can purchase "Tragedy of the Blood" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
