Not Yet Drown'd
Catherine MacDonald is astonished to receive from her twin brother who had apparently drowned a year earlier in the monsoon floods of 1821 a kashmiri shawl, a caddy of unusual tea, and a sheaf of traditional bagpipe music in his handwriting. When had he sent it? And why had he retitled a certain tune "Not Yet Drown'd"? Irresistibly, she is drawn to India to search for answers. With her stepdaughter and their two maids one an enigmatic Hindu, the other a runaway American slave she follows an obscure trail of tea, opium, and bagpipe music, discovering unsuspected truths about the man she is seeking. Reading group guide included."

Not Yet Drown'd is a quest novel in the best sense. Taut and tense and full of surprises, it is a tribute to those who venture into the unknown. Peg Kingman understands the human heart.--Alistair MacLeod, author of Island and No Great Mischief
Rich in characterization and suspense...It is a wonder that this assured and supremely engaging novel is Peg Kingman's first.-- "Historical Novels Review"
A lyric, romantic first novel...Kingma's exacting historical knowledge of the era comes through in her use of actual people and events.-- "Library Journal"
