Critiques

I cannot find fault with this book. It took a bit of faith to get into, as it uses in much of the dialogue a Scots dialect, which I am not too familiar with, but before long I was able to figure out most of what was being said, look up a few words, and not worry about the rest.

It's a beautifully told story about the amazing hardship of the early years of Robert Burns and his family and the emergence of his creative and assertive personality. The characters are all believable, their story is engaging, the prose delicious. My interest never flagged.

"The Wind" is the first of a quintet. I hope I can find the rest. My copy is from 1947. As far as I can tell the modern release only includes the first two novels. (Black and White Publishing 2008)
