"I thoroughly liked this story of life in rural Scotland in the 1950's. The characters were down-to-earth and the sort of people I would be glad to call friends. As they dealt with some challenges of life my heart went out to them. Now I want to "discover" some of the author's other books." — Lewestover (4 out of 5 stars)
