Lady's Rock

I liked this book a lot.

Apart from well writte descriptions of Scottish life, castles, alliances, and marriages, Catherine Campbell was an intriguing character.

She comes across as spoiled, entitled, and difficult but really can't be blamed for her behavior. Married to a despicable man, who does everything under his power to make her miserable, flaunting his long-term mistress and natural son, being uncouth and unkind and to top it all, taking her daughter away just builds the steps for Catherine to break. She's been taken away from her family, her lover, her loving home, and thrown in the inhospitable Duart castle. Her only friend is a harpist, Lorna. So what's a woman to do when all she wants is her life of loving and caring back. She plots, she schemes, she avenges, and she fights.

Well written and fast-paced. I was thoroughly surprised. The narration was done well, and emoted the book the well.

I’m not familiar with Sue Lawrence’s books but having strong Scottish ancestry, I find Scottish historical fiction interesting. I sense this book was well researched and I Lund it particularly interesting as it depicts an era from a female perspective, Usually these takes centre on cla leaders fighting and power struggles, so a more domestic viewpoint was fascinating,

It all felt very real, with strong and plausible characters and a complex mix of emotions and allegiances. Familial ties, clan ties, a harsh and unforgiving Highland backdrop and moral dilemmas for both sides. The narration throughout was excellent and I really enjoyed being swept back into a dark and difficult time in Scotland’s history. Enjoyable and I felt I learned from this story.

Listened to this on audiobook. A very good narrator.

The story is set in Scotland in the 16th century and tells about the Highland clans. Very interesting
