The magnificent Maclarens march to war...

The year is 1914: the last summer of innocence before the outbreak of the Great War, a time for frivolity and flirting. For Naomi Bruce there is a chance to plot and scheme; for Rebecca Galloway a chance to win a man's heart; for the Maclarens - family, clan and regiment - a last chance to savour the joys of summer in the Scottish Highlands.

But when the storm of war breaks over Europe, old plans must be abandoned and new ones must be made, because Scotland's proudest regiment is heading off to battle...

Beloved Soldiers is the triumphant climax of an epic saga which traces the fortunes of a family and a regiment - a novel of love, passion, bravery and sacrifice.
