5.0 out of 5 stars Ripping Yarn by a Lady, August 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Glendraco (Paperback)

This is one of my all-time favorite books by one of my all-time favorite authors. Laura Black has a great talent for vivid characters. Her Kirstie meets all sorts of adventures: scenes of romance, oppression, depression, heartbreak, grief, bravery, suspense, gaiety, and terror, all deftly, and many times unexpectedly injected with comedy. A great read!

just put in this review to agree with another reviewer that Glendraco is one of the best scottish romances ever written. Makes all of the newer ones seem dull and derivative (other than Diana Gabaldon, whose books are even better).

This is a fabulous read! I have read it at least ten times and it never fails to keep me spellbound. Laura Black is truly a lost treasure and it is a shame that she is out of print.
