Voland & Quist

Take a dilapidated castle in the Scottish Highlands, add a peacock gone rogue, a group of bankers on a teambuilding trip, an overwhelmed psychologist, a housekeeper with a broken arm, and an ingenious cook, get Lord and Lady Macbeth to try and keep it all together, and top it off with all sorts of animals - soon no one will know exactly what's going on. Selling 500 000 copies, Isabel Bogdan's book is a big hitter in Germany - and now it's coming home to roost.
