Character Studies Abound

I found this book a wonderful change from the usual racing plot stories with no real character analysis. It rolled gently into the story like the highlands of Scotland where it is set, gaining momentum as it went. Rather than being a blood and thunder type of book, as one might expect of the early 19th century, it delved into the real thoughts and experiences of the people involved. MacLean's writing style is full of similies and methaphors that flow easily one after another and moves the story ahead by painting a complete picture of the landscapes, village living, poverty and hardship. Her writing style was flowing and full of beauty, even as the story itself was of a very difficult time for her characters. I really enjoyed it very much. It reminded me of the writing of Willa Cather.
