This heroine, Anne, Scottish Rebel is one I will never forget reading about. Her story is truly the most gutsy and courageous one yet. I absolutely loved her. The story begins with her marriage to a clans chief and then leads to the return of the Prince and her and her husband end up fighting on opposite sides. She and her lover fight for Scots freedom and independence and right to maintain their way of life. She is next to him in battle, faces her husband down, aides and abets Scottish prisoners. I HATED her husband and I HATED how she forgave and went back to him. I felt he was a coward catering to the English and allowing his people to be raped and murdered. Besides that, my only qualms with this book was that there was often too many characters with similar names. I had to go back thru it and figure out whom I was reading about at the moment and what they had done before in previous chapters. A "people tree" was almost needed. There was a quite a bit of sexual obsession too. I am curious as to how women in this day and age had so much say so and independence, when just a century before (according to other novels) women were mere adornments on men's arms. So I wonder at the accuracy. I thoroughly enjoyed it tho. What a woman and she fought till the end. Even the English could not put out the flame of her rebellious spirit. Also, there is some gory and violent scenes so not for the faint of heart.
