Margot Livesey’s newest novel, The Road from Belhaven, follows a young Lizzie Craig growing up in 1880s Scotland. She has a gift of second sight, which allows her to see aspects of the future. This might be considered more of a curse than a gift, because she was able to see the future, but not alter it.

I recently spoke with Margot Livesey about The Road from Belhaven and a bit more.
