Despite lots of other people who has reviewed this book, I hadn't gotten my hopes too high on another brilliant book. BUT I found the fiery cross to be a great book and although the atmosphere that was in Outlander (Due partly to being in Scotland where things were different e.g clans)wasn't the same, it didn't mean this book didn't have it's own individuality.
I really enjoyed it and I read the whole thing in less than two days.
No one can write the same book over and over again!, and believe it or not that's actually a good thing!

I really got hooked on this book, great plot and well written.
I wasn't all that anxious to read the modern parts of the novel as I find with Barbara Erskine she tends to write excellent "past" stories but the "present" storyline aren't as interesting to read. However even the "present" storline in this book wasn't half bad. One of her best infact.
I just love how she can bring the characters and scenery to life and she does it very, very well in this novel as she did in Lady of Hay.
It seems this novel isn't easy to get, but I recommend you try because it's worth reading.
