In a charming book written by one of the daughters of the 25th Thane of Cawdor, Liza Campbell's memoir of growing up as a Scottish aristocrat is funny and sad. Her wit is sharp while her observations of her father are acute. If you're a fan of Shakespeare, then reading this book will feel like you're playing "Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon." While well removed from the Bard's play, it feels like you're getting a glimpse behind the scenes. Well done and worth the read!
