THE BOOKSELLER OF INVERNESS (Review)

 The Bookseller of Inverness is well written historical fiction that helps keep alive the memory of what might have been. 

The Battle of Culloden (1746) was the day the universe changed for Scotland. The stage setting for S.G. MacLean’s novel is beautiful Inverness and its environs in the mid-1700s during its somewhat brutal and unsettled and unsettling aftermath. 

MacLean’s finely crafted characters are fittingly attired down to their very buttons. They sweep on and off stage after perfectly delivering their lines right on cue, each serving to increase the intrigue. 

The story flows like the River Ness.
