Based on the content warnings this books sounds horrible, but I promise it is fantastic. It is an historical fiction/romance set in the 18th Century and post-WW2 Scotland, written in the late 1980s-early 1990s so it isn’t pristine in the sense of today’s sensibilities. That said, if you’re looking for an immersive, incredibly well-researched, thoughtfully-written, and unforgettable historical romance that generally defies genre, try this out.
