5.0 out of 5 stars Great Historical Fiction, January 2, 2001

This review is from: The Stonewycke Trilogy: The Heather Hills of Stonewycke / Flight from Stonewycke / The Lady of Stonewycke (Paperback)

This was my favorite series as a teenager. I devoured each novel as it was published and waited impatiently for each sequel to come out. Phillips and Pella masterfully wove a plot that kept me on the edge of my seat, spellbound by the characters and the mystery. It is clear that the authors have researched Scottish history and culture. I learned more about that region through these books than from any history class. These books take the reader into the culture, allowing him or her to experience what it was like in that time, as well as into the heart and mind of each character. I became Margaret as I read.

The development of spiritual themes is well worked into the plot and appropriate for the audience for whom it is written. I recommend this series and the sequel "The Stonewycke Legacy" highly and without reservation.

4.0 out of 5 stars A beginning for me, April 30, 2003

This review is from: The Stonewycke Trilogy: The Heather Hills of Stonewycke / Flight from Stonewycke / The Lady of Stonewycke (Paperback)

I have a romance with Scotland. It's music, it's history, the land itself. My love for this land, and subsequently it's neighboring Ireland, first began as teenager when I read this trilogy. The story itself is simple....a young woman coming to maturity and her love for the land. The loss of a relationship with her father and the new love for a young man he despises. Her decision to leave her homeland and the tragic events that unfold. But, over the course of the series, God's providence in showing her a Father's love she couldn't imagine and being reunited with the one she loved and the land of her birth. The six books of the Stonewycke Trilogy and Stonewycke Legacy are a great beginning for historical fiction set in Scotland. Phillips' later Caledonia works show even greater writing skill and development (And a great introductory course to Scottish history). All good reading.

I have read this series several times and will never get tired of it! The story that unfolds grasp your full attention from beginning to end. I hated to finish the last novel for fear of leaving the lives of Ian and Maggie! A great adventure to all!
