Historically accurate husband versus wife at war story, thematically brilliant, deeply affecting ( )

I couldn't get past 50 pages before the bodice ripping scenes went over the top. From what I gather this book is nothing but gratuitous sex interspersed with greatly detailed battle scenes, neither of which appeals to this reader. I do like a romance on occasion but it helps if there's some chemistry there and you won't find it in this book. Get it from the library if you must. ( )

I really enjoyed this novel - describing the build up to the Culloden battle. I thought it gave an interesting insight into Clan life - though it was rather 'bodice-ripping' in parts. ( )

Passionate saga set during the Jacobite Rebellion. The heroine, Anne Farquarson, is billed as the "female Braveheart" and certainly there are many similarities. "White Rose Rebel" is an unflinching portrayal of a dark time in Scottish history that will keep you turning the pages. ( )
