Susan D You are quite correct to question this, Kaylene! No, the Irish do not usually use lass. Lass is used in Scotland and the North of England. The Irish say cailin (pronounced coleen). I’ve read mixed reviews for this book and would be interested to know what you think.

That's what I thought, Susan! I enjoyed this book overall but it's such a new concept to me and it was out of my usual comfort-zone of historical romance, so it was also refreshing to me
