The Oracle

The power of prophecy has been inherited by the first female from generation to generation since the days of the first oracle of Delphi, Gaia. The diary that follows the line has recorded, sometimes in strange languages, the names and the dates of their births. The diary arrives in Scotland in 1803. In 1960, when Hilda Garnock dies, her daughter Susan becomes the latest oracle. She marries Stuart in 1961 and a year later she gives birth to twin girls: Helen and Diana. But the happiness of the family is shattered when Susan's frequent prophecies repeat the same message: the twins must never see eye to eye; they must be separated or they both die.
