Lady of the Glen: A Novel of 17th-Century Scotland and the Massacre of Glencoe by Jennifer Roberson

badcushion's review

I got about a third of the way in, and it’s not at all a bad book. There’s a lot of scottish clans and politics and the characters are good though there are a lot of them. But it didn’t grab me, though I’ve tried it twice; life is too short to keep reading it. It was just not The book for me.

Read more than once, a million years ago. Loved it then; not sure what I'd think now.

4.0

A "Romeo and Juliet" style telling of the events leading to the massacre at Glencoe at the end of the 17th century. It's of particular interest to readers who want to know more about the Jacobite Rebellion and events that led up to the defeat at Culloden.

I read this when it was first published, and the re-read was in anticipation of a trip to the Highlands this summer, including a trek to Glencoe. Roberson does an excellent job of bringing the land and its inhabitants to life.
