Wow, great storytelling! Fans of regency historicals (like me) will at some point come upon at least a mention of the Clearances, however, never have I learned so much about their tragic suffering. For me, the characters and their destitute town came to life. It's rare that an author can pluck me out from my living room and plop me right in the middle of her setting, which in this case was Edgar. There was very little outward romance between Olive and Douglas but their attachment was apparent. Even so, romance was all over these pages; the type a man develops for a town filled with desperate yet good people who need him. And he courageously stepped up to the challenge, out of the goodness of his exhausted and war-torn heart, despite wanting to pursue dreams of his own. There were a few christian references, but not so much as to turn me off since I am not a fan. Instead, it was a true joy to read. Highly recommended at 4.5 stars.
