TammimaineAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5April 25, 2011TammimaineAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5The Blurb:
A mother who cannot face her future.
A daughter who cannot escape her past.
Lady Elisabeth Kerr is a keeper of secrets. A Highlander by birth and a Lowlander by marriage, she honors the auld ways, even as doubts and fears stir deep within her.
Her husband, Lord Donald, has secrets of his own, well hidden from the household, yet whispered among the town gossips.
His mother, the dowager Lady Marjory, hides gold beneath her floor and guilt inside her heart. Though her two abiding passions are maintaining her place in society and coddling her grown sons, Marjory's many regrets, buried in Greyfriars Churchyard, continue to plague her.
One by one the Kerr family secrets begin to surface, even as bonny Prince Charlie and his rebel army ride into Edinburgh in September 1745, intent on capturing the crown.
A timeless story of love and betrayal, loss and redemption, flickering against the vivid backdrop of eighteenth-century Scotland, Here Burns My Candle illumines the dark side of human nature, even as hope, the brightest of tapers, lights the way home.
My Review:
This is the first book I have read by Liz Curtis Higgs, but it will not be my last. I was drawn into the story right away. The author's talent for description placed me in 1745 Edinburgh, Scotland; and the characters were real, with with strengths and weakness.
Using the the book of Ruth as her template, Liz Curtis Higgs weaves her story of of love, loss and redemption. A story that will endure this characters to your heart, as you turn each page.
