L.A. MacRae was born in St Andrews, Scotland. Her first novel And Now The Light Is Everywhere was longlisted for the Caledonian Novel Award 2021. She now lives in the Isle of Skye with her family and animals.
A vivid, involving and beautifully written story.
*Joseph O'Connor*
Classic story-telling bathed in a generous light . . . it moves so
confidently between lives and epochs it easy not to realise at
first how cleverly it's put together, how effectively the different
stories intersect and echo. It's poignant and funny, and marks Lucy
out as an exciting and ambitious writer of real talent.
*Andrew Miller*
A book that draws you in and holds you till the very end.
*Anne Griffin*
And Now the Light is Everywhere is a page-turner, with a clever
plot and a range of engaging characters, but there are deeper
currents below the surface, carrying questions about time, families
and their secrets, trust, betrayal and the nature and importance of
storytelling itself. MacRae's writing is sensitive and accurate,
rising to passages of brilliance at the right moments. A
wonderfully accomplished first novel.
*James Robertson*
An eloquent novel. I was captivated by the story telling, the
landscape, the brilliant dialogue and the wonderfully vivid
characters
*Margot Livesey*
