The Abbot, Druid, Monks and Durstans family are important to the story, as is the magic in the firelight, wildness of nature and seasons on Iona and Mull in the Hebrides, warmth of spring in April/May and snow at Yule, the blizzards and white sky.
I enjoyed this book. I'd never read a book set quite so far back in time before,
Also the setting was lovely, I found the book to be fast paced and most of the characters were likeable,
I could see this being made into a film or a drama series, I would like to read more from this author,
I would have liked to have seen more Scottish words and grammar used, particularly when the characters were speaking to each other.
I understand however that the author is not
Scottish and this would have made the book less accessible to others.
