It has many different facets, not only the history but also legend, myth, and a touch of ancient Celtic beliefs, characters that really seem to be from that period, family intrigues and the mystery of how the relationships developed to create the personalities of the principal characters. I actually felt anger, sympathy, and several other emotions as I got to know the characters. There is sadness or cheerfulness at the events and emotions whenever certain characters enter the scene again some of those happy and some a bit sad. One really becomes a part of this book quickly and it is a very good read! I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to visit and be a part of Scotland in the early seventeenth century. - Becky Dodge, for The Urlar, magazine of the Clan MacPherson Association --Becky Dodge, for The Urlar, magazine of the Clan MacPherson AssociationDark Birthright is set in northeast Scotland during the early 1600 s.
