This was a well written story with interesting and well developed characters.  This is a tragic story and very depressing, leaving you feeling empty at the end.  The characters all were many dimensional, finding yourself with pity for the characters you hate, some dislike for the characters that you like.  Although this was depressing, it makes you feel, and it stays with you after you close the book, which in my opinion are all signs of a really good book.  For those that like nice tidy endings, this is not for you.  The only complaint I have is that all the characters always "sniff" when they speak.....nobody groans, sighs, growls, snorts, responds, asks or anything else, they only sniff.  Maybe in Scotland everybody does sniff every time when they speak, if this is the case I do apologize.  But the sniffing did get on my nerves, but not enough to take away from the story as a whole.
