📘 The house of the deer by D. E. Stevenson

Gerald Burleigh Brown is asked to replace his brother‑in‑law for a deer‑stalking retreat in a remote Scottish hunting lodge, far from the nearest village. Surrounded by rugged hills and forest, Gerald learns to navigate a group of eccentric characters and makes friends with the local inhabitants. His days are focused on tracking the “hummel,” a massive hornless stag that proves an elusive quarry. When a sudden outbreak of violence upends the tranquil holiday, Gerald must risk his own safety to protect the woman he has grown to love. The novel blends the quiet ritual of deer hunting with a tense, personal conflict against a backdrop of Scotland’s dramatic landscape.
