Flower of Scotland (by Emma Blair)

Flower of Scotland by Emma Blair
(Amazon UK link)
'Flower of Scotland' is a historical saga by Emma Blair.

This is the story of the Drummond family. I thought it started well, but there was far too much violence and explicit intimacy early on, for my tastes. There was also prostitution, betrayal, and rather cardboard characters who I didn't identify with at all.

Eventually I gave up and read the last few chapters. I gathered what had happened, and decided the middle was entirely unnecessary.

I would not recommend this book, but don't necessarily take my word for it as reviewers elsewhere rate it quite highly.
