The Handfasting is a story of two people deeply in love that marry using a quick ceremony that is not in a church to be wed the day before he goes off to fight for Prince Charlie in a very bloody war. Emma waits for Gavin to return for almost a year.This time period and war was very hard on the Scottish clans with the loss of so many of the fighting men. In this story the third son became the Laird because both of his older brothers and father had been killed in the war. From the history books I have read on this period, this would have been a likely progression to the leadership of he clan.One of the best things in The Handfasting is the dialogue was true to how the people would have spoken in Scotland. Tas easy ta follow and made the story more interesting.
