We were graciously sent this book from the author, Rosalind Anderson, for a book review and here it is.
(my own picture of the book)
Prepare to be transported!! The second I saw the word “Jacobite”, I was in. I blame Outlander though. This is delightful historical book that details the events leading up to The Rising of 1715 and follow the Murray family, in particular John and William. It follows the family through marriage, arguments, war, famous battlefields, letters of correspondence and first hand account. As an added bonus, the Frasers make many appearances. I won’t say much more so as to not spoil it, but I thoroughly enjoyed that part.
Any Outlander, history buff or a lover of Scottish history would enjoy this book. Accompanied with portrait pictures, famous location and monument pictures and a detailed family tree of both Murray and Hamilton families, its worth a read. It’s the kind of book that you could curl up next to a fire place and a good glass of whisky and relax.
Again, thank you to the author for sending this to us. Much appreciated!
