She travels there under the protection of her kinsman the Earl of Argyll, a powerful Scot who has strong ties to the king. As her mother lies dying, she makes Elspeth promise to go to Scotland and meet her father, Robert Lamond. Anyway.Įlspeth Lamond is Scottish by birth but has been raised in London as a ward of King James. "Her love was rebellion against family and rank, and his was a sword made reckless by desire!" (In gold foil, too! Wow.) It gives you a completely wrong impression of the book. But I refuse to post the cover blurb that's on the back of my edition because it is melodramatic idiocy. *sigh* So I'm going to do a synopsis, but it's going to be a bit vague because some of the details have already floated away from me. I loved this book and I wanted to do a really good review of it, but then life intruded and now it's been about a month since I read it. I love to find authors answering the question, "Who are your favorite authors?" Bride of the MacHugh is a favorite of author Susanna Kearsley, whose books I discovered recently and have really enjoyed. One of the places that I have found some of the best (and consistently good) recommendations is by finding out what books are some of my favorite authors' favorites. Getting book recommendations from people can be really hit-or-miss - a person's taste in books is so personal, that if you don't know the person very well, you can find yourself buying a book that may light their fire but does absolutely nothing for you. ![]()
