of historical interest...
verbose, convoluted, time consuming, with a myriad of digressions...suitable for idle middle-class readers, with lots of empty hours to fill...there are several germs of good stories in there, covered with many layers of prose and poetry...of historical interest only, i am afraid...

Excellent
Great read, in the style of Jane Austen but more satirical. Well worth a read.

Scotland's answer to Jane Austen.
A very interesting and well-crafted novel, giving insight into the period. I can see why Ferrier has been described as Scotalnd's Jane Austen.
