No where in the back of this book does it mention that the author uses the Biblical story of Jacob, Leah, and Rachel as the backbone of this novel. It's not just a hint of it either, it's a very obvious retelling of the story. Granted in the end she HAD to change the outcome because men were not allowed two wives in 1788 Scotland. She did a fantastic job with the dialogue, substituting in the occassional old Scottish language. The book grew interesting towards the end but I feel that the author should be giving more credit to where she actually got this story and it should be noted on the back cover. Out of shear curiousity to see what she does with these character's I will read the next novel Fair Is The Rose.
good
This one took me FOREVER to read. It started out to be extremely interesting and seemed like it was going to be GREAT...and then it went nowhere fast. When I finally finshed it I felt like I really didn't know too much more than I had when I started. If you enjoy native american/frontier history and are interested in reading about the trail of tears, this book paints an interesting picture of it. But it's a SLOW read.
