I picked up a copy of the audiobook version of this, so that I'd have something to listen to while running errands, etc. And I love the voice of the narrator, so I highly recommend the audiobook. :)As for the story itself, I was totally captivated by Isobel's tale. I would have loved this book even if it was a straight historical novel, only about her. <3But then you also have Lou's story, which makes it even better. Just graduated from college, feeling lost and directionless, she quits the job she hates and goes to Scotland with her best friend for winter break. There, she meets Brian, the sexy tour guide who shares her love of history. I loved the friendship dynamic between Lou and her best friend, Tammy, the developing romance with Brian and the moments of self-discovery as Lou finds herself.I have to admit that my absolute favorite part of the book was the family history thread woven into Lou's journey as she discovers bits of her past and discovers herself in the present.
