Title: This is not a book for those who cannot persevere.
Product review: Every page is packed with information about the times, the mores, the texture and taste of the characters. Thorfinn MacBeth and Gruoch are so clearly illustrated that it becomes painful to finish the book, knowing from history's tale exactly what end they both meet. This author is the equivalent - in this novel, anyway - of the aesthete's Diana Gabaldon. A very interesting minor character is Luloecen, and I sincerely wish the author had written a separate volume on him.
