i onlyngave this book 3 stars, but 2.5 might be more accurate. I was interested enough to finish, but just barely. The premise is that 5 sisters grow up, leave their village, live tragic lives, then return. 3 of the 5 apparently have no morals or ethics. The pacing in the book was off. I also found modern slang in a historical fiction piece to be jarring. That, however, may have been due to the translation rather than the author’s original writing.
“When I asked my da how ye knew which was the right woman, he told me when the time came, I'd have no doubt. And I didn't. When I woke in the dark under that tree on the road to Leoch, with you sitting on my chest, cursing me for bleeding to death, I said to myself 'Jamie Fraser, for all ye canna see what she looks like, and for all she weights as much as a good draft horse, this is the woman.”
