AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Two men: Bren and James -- one born in a thatch-roofed crannog during the late Bronze Age; the other growing up in a working-class suburb of Melbourne during the twentieth century. In their separate times they both discover the same mysterious well -- a holy well -- hidden in the countryside of the Scottish Highlands. And although they remain thousands of years apart, they are drawn together by the wisdom and healing provided by this ancient artifact of the land ... and the glimpses it gives of a higher reality.' (Publisher's blurb)
