I was born, and still live, in Scotland on the shores of a river, between the mountains and the sea. I’m a retired scientist and science administrator, but have always been fascinated by the early history of Scotland, and I love fleshing out that history with the stories of fictional, and not-so-fictional, characters.

Pretty tedious. I had to force myself to finish this, fighting off falling asleep in the 'exciting' sections. Flat unrealistic characters, especially the main character who was totally unbelievable. Disappointing after reading one of Wilbur Smith's e ...more

Predictable but still enjoyable, even if there seemed to be more emphasis on world-building than plot. I had to suspend a lot of disbelief with regard to the curse which was physiologically dubious.

A fascinating glimpse into the lives of a hunter gatherer society in Scotland in neolithic times. A bit slow as a story, largely due to the many different points of view, but enjoyable nevertheless. The author explained why she didn't include a map b ...more
