Cauldstane by Linda Gillard
4.0
This is more of a 4 stars for me! I quite enjoyed the story and love books that take place in Scotland (for some odd reason I haven't yet figured out). Once you start reading this book it will give you what you expect, but not EVERYTHING that you want. I wished at some points near the end that there would be a little bit more drama, but I am quite a content reader. I do not often complain about books but rather accept them for what they are. I am very glad to have met the characters in this story and loved the development of the main character Jenny throughout the story. One of the main parts that I loved was that they mentioned homosexual relationships (and in a good light!) as well as a former theoretical physicist turned priest! It sure shut down many sterotypes in that way, as well as making it a point that a family of strong headed males were saved from the financial stability of a woman (and not the usual reverse situation).
I am very glad to have read this book and recommend to those looking for a light, fast read of the dreamy castles one would find in Scotland!
