A complex plot that is well managed and which introduces colourful romantic characters who suit such high charged circumstances.
The action is conveyed through letters between two young friends who are central to the story, in the initial stages. Later their individual accounts propel the action forward. The location takes place on both sides of the border by Solway Firth in, or about the year, 1765.
A recommended introduction to Walter Scott.
