| Description: | Select Guide Rating ‘A wronged woman’s voice is reclaimed in this gripping tale of revenge and romance; a ‘medieval Gone Girl’. Highland Scotland was no place for a woman in the early 1500s. Life was turbulent, brutal, short. Chiefs waged war, while their sisters and daughters were traded as pawns in marriage. Catherine Campbell was one such young bride, betrothed to Lachlan Maclean and despatched from her fine home to join him on the Isle of Mull, to bear his sons and heirs. But Lachlan proved to be nothing like the man of Catherine’s dreams, and she was forced to resign herself to enduring life with him for the sake of duty… Until the day when he threatened to take away the one thing she couldn’t sacrifice: her daughter. Casting a fascinating light on the ruthless clan system, this compelling drama by one of Scotland’s best-loved novelists explores love, ambition, betrayal and revenge and highlights the precarious position of 16th-century women. ‘A wronged woman’s voice is reclaimed in this gripping tale of revenge and romance; a ‘medieval Gone Girl’.
