Story takes place over thirty years, before and after WWII
One heck of a nasty woman in this story. As well as some of the nicest, and caring too. Interesting and sometimes improbable romance. The Scottish people are portrayed well, without having to use awkward sayings! I cringe when they do that.

I feel like it jumps from each character too quickly. It was hard to get into to begin with and I found it slow at the end. However I would had put the book down if I wasn’t so interested in how flora and her babies get on.

This book should of been called Ruthless. The picture and the blurb do not do it justice. I found this a fantastic family saga. Quite intense and emotional.
