I read this as part of my writing study in structure and really enjoyed the way the author structured this novel with two alternating time periods; between the late 70's (totally my groove) and World War II (the 1940's). She did a beautiful job of connecting the different time periods so that it didn't feel like such a jolt each time. What was challenging for me was the setting - Scotland (the difference in the spellings of names and pronunciations has a tendency to throw me off) - but as I read, I too fell in love with the country. The author's love for her homeland is contagious and ethereal. If you enjoy Scottish historical romance - I definitely recommend this book. If you don't know - I recommend you read this one - it is a delight!
