What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I read this in high school so first publication would be prior to 1978.

It may have been in the Bonnie Prince Charlie era. Definitely 1600-1800 time frame. It involved a girl with second sight and I think she had no family. Boys/ young men figured into it but I don't remember it was necessarily romantic.

Not sure, but could it be Fiona by Catherine Gaskin?

Nope, not the one - although I have read Fiona a few times and like it. Thanks for trying!

Could it be Witch of the Glens by Sally Watson?

I was also going to suggest Witch of the Glens, one of my favorite books.

Or possibly a book by Mollie Hunter?

I have a feeling it is Witch of the Glens....Powells.com has a copy for $125, nothing on Ebay, and nothing in my library system....dang. So close and yet so far! I'll look into the ILL, maybe someone somewhere has a copy. (InterLibraryLoan)

I'll let you know if I have any luck, thanks for the help!

Thanks, Dawn! We appreciate you letting us know, and crossing fingers for you that it's the book and that you can find a copy.

I was able to find copies in some public libraries - County of Los Angeles being one of them.

However, more exciting - Barnes and Noble had them listed online. On a whim, I googled Image Cascade (who rerinted these a few years ago) and low and behold, you can get the complete set of 7 Sally Watson books for just under $80! (not including s&h)

They had several other authors too - apparently they specialize in reprints of the 1930s to 1960s.

Now to save my pennies! WooHoo!

Dawn, was that your book?

Dawn hasn't been active in GR in over a year. I'm thinking that this can go down into Abandoned. The next mod to read this should move it, I guess.

I am so sorry, everyone, I knew I had let Goodreads postings slide but didn't realize it had been that long.

Yes, it was Sally Watson's Witch of the Glens so that can go into the solved folder.

No, I haven't looked at half.com but I will, thanks for the suggestion!

Dawn, I think this is available as an ebook from Amazon now. I just purchased it.

Good to know, thanks!
