This expertly researched tale is a terrific mix of history and fiction that will keep the reader engaged right up to the very last page. The author has created delightful characters in a turbulent time and the reader will not only enjoy the story but may learn something too! This is a top-notch recommendation for all adult and young adult readers.

Eyes of Garnet has been wonderfully descriptive, making it easy to picture the surroundings and put yourself in Catriona's shoes. Thanks to the author for including a glossary in the back. I am anxiously awaiting a sequel!

Mary Duncan's thoroughly researched historical novel of 18th century Scotland takes us on a journey of intrigue, family unrest,Scotland's friction with England AND the heroine Catriona's gift of the "Sight"! A bit of the feel of Camelot, and the strength of the peoples to survive any and all tyranny. Well Done!!!!!

This book is wonderfully written. You can tell the author put a LOT of time researching the historical facts and making them relevant to the storyline. A very easy read book. Even with some of the Gaelic terms it is very understandable. The glossary helps as well. My 13-year-old daughter is reading it for the 2nd time, and absolutely loves it. We both cannot wait until the sequel comes out.
