The moment I started this book I swore I read it so I have either read it before or all Scottish books are pretty much the same. Well it is a small place and the same history in every book but I don't think it would give the same feeling as being read. It's probably one of those books that is on your read shelf for so long goodreads switches it to your want to read.
