I much preferred this to Duncton Wood. I was mesmerised by Sea Eagles, Stravangar, the black and red Cuillins and the landscape of the Hebrides. However, I felt Stonor was unbelievable as an artist and he seemed pretty stuffy and wooden. Still, the novel had me gripped.

This book took a little time to sink its hooks into me. Once it did though it was a very memorable and I enjoyed it immensely. However the ending was a horrible anti-climax, the like I'd never experienced before. So bad was it I actually threw the book at the ground and stomped around in anger.

This is an amazing work. Dont expect to read it in a hurry there are 3 stories in one all intertwined (is that a word?) it will move you to tears and have you on the edge of your seat and leave you feeling richer for reading it.
