Reviews
In the pantheon of gothic tales...
mashislo
... this one stands on par with Wuthering Heights. Such a wonderful story with all the hallmarks of the genre, from brooding flawed hero to beautiful harassed damsel to well observed regionalism. Magnificently read as well! Thank you so much, Gillian!
well done

Please read more Scottish writers when the stories are set in Scotland; there are not enough of real Scottish accents, which make all the difference, for example, George Macdonald, Robert Louis Stevenson, etc, etc and Sir Walter Scott, of course.
