About this book

In the twilight of the 19th century, societal shifts and the echoes of imperialism shape the lives of individuals grappling with their identities. "The Half-Hearted" by John Buchan explores the complexities of loyalty and ambition through the eyes of Lewis Haystoun, a young man returning to his Scottish roots. As he navigates the tension between personal desires and societal expectations, themes of unfulfilled potential and the quest for belonging emerge. This compelling narrative invites students and historians alike to reflect on the nuances of human experience amidst changing landscapes. With vivid descriptions of the Glenavelin countryside and a rich character study, Buchan crafts a timeless tale of introspection and resilience.
