I got half way through, then my attention wandered and I closed the book for good. There is much historical detail in the story. Somehow there was a sense of impending sadness and doom throughout, and I felt myself wishing for something lighter to read.
This book is hard to put down!!
Another solid historical fiction book by Anya Seton. Very well researched history of the Jacobites and their rebellous ways. I especally liked the story line when they traveled to Virginia in the early 1700s. Jenny and her father are strong well written characters. Lots to learn from this novel.
I had forgotten that I had read this one years ago. It is one of her more obscure books. Smaller, not as popular, but just as good! I love how Seton does such accurate research for each book!
