I loved it. I really did. I got slightly confused by all the Matthews and all the Katherines, but I did love it. An intriguing take on timeslip fiction, or historical fiction, or time travel fiction - its all a mash up really. 
 The descriptions are beautiful. The author is highly talented. Please don't let my confusion put you off reading this book! It was quite different reading about the Crimean War instead of WWII or WWI. And a refreshingly different viewpoint on the Jacobite uprising. 
 So yes, I can easily recommend this book.
