I loved this book.Susanna Kearsley may be Canadian just as I am a New Zealander but her affinity with her Scottish heritage shines through her writing.She relates the past with the present so well.The 1708 abortive uprising for The Old Pretender as a young man is less well known than the later '15 and '45 but no less perilous and tragic for all those involved.She is a master story teller who intertwines an old love story with its modern equivalent using the breath-taking Scottish scenery as a background.When I buy this book though, it will be under its other title, The Winter Sea.I much prefer the cover and the title.
