There were bits and pieces of this book that were a wee bit slow, and even so, well worth the read. The details of life in Scotland in the 1700s and life in Scotland in the 1940s are both well-researched and presented in such a way that the author is not just spewing information at you. It helps that the main character is learning these things for herself for the first time.

I couldn't wait to see which way Claire went, so I scanned through the last few pages about halfway through the book. I loved the choice she made, and just had to see how it came about.

If you like time-travel, Scottish culture, hot men and a really good story, definitely put this one on your To Read list.
