Review: Curl up and visit the islands
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 16, 2012
A sweet and satisfying romance with alternating chapters and heroines, Alys from modern Edinburgh and Henrietta from seventeenth-century Edinburgh.  Both women struggle to understand the people, traditions, and loyalties of Garve, a Hebridean island.  Nothing terribly new here, but the writing is pleasant,  and the plot and shifting perspectives make the story quietly compelling.
