The writer of Lamentations witnessed the Babylonians destroying Jerusalem. It was a terrible judgment, almost too much to bear for God's covenant people, yet it was God's grace so that we could receive the gospel. What does a book with such a dreary reputation say to today's society? The reality is that it could not be more relevant.

With both his parents dead, his aunt Mary is his only remaining blood link. He leaves the fast-paced life of the city for the Outer Hebrides, where traditional values and beliefs are adhered to and respected. It is a life he neither belongs to nor understands. When she goes he will be the last of the family line and he couldn't care less. Family and history are just bonds to tie him down. Reluctantly, he sets out to do his duty and stumbles across questions that challenge everything he ever knew about himself and the people from whom he came. In the days between his aunt's death and funeral he is drawn into the role of genealogy detective. In a place where everyone knows everything about everybody, Cal finds that secrets are buried deep. Mairi, a young widow, knows far more than she is willing to tell. Kate Anna, his aunt's lifelong friend, avoids his questions. And what of Finlay, who lays claim to the house? Cal begins to understand that Aunt Mary was not the woman he knew and the secret she kept hidden for so long means he might not be the person he thought he was. Last of the Line is a story that explores the part in all of us that wants to know who we are and where we are from.

Günter, ein fünfzehn oder sechzehn Jahre alter Junge, ist von zu Hause durchgebrannt und trifft mit dem Nachmittagszug am Stettiner Bahnhof in Berlin ein. Was er in der Großstadt sucht, ahnt er noch nicht einmal. Neugierig und voller Erwartung stürzt er sich in das Leben der Metropole. Zur selben Zeit kommt auch Hermann Graff an. Er ist Anfang zwanzig und hat recht genaue Vorstellungen davon, was ihn in die Großstadt treibt. Berlin in den „goldenen zwanziger Jahren“: So wie der Autor seine beiden Protagonisten zur selben Stunde im Eldorado der Homosexuellen eintreffen lässt, so führt er sie zusammen. Doch was seiner Utopie folgend sicher eine wenn auch ungewöhnliche Liebesgeschichte hätte werden sollen, entwickelt sich zu einem realistisch und einfühlsam geschriebenen Drama.
