Don’t bother

It’s a shame, because this was right in my sweet spot: time crossing / historical fiction / picturesque Scottish location / etc. BUT:

Ruined by overly complex / criss-crossed relationships, overly drawn out back stories, too vividly misogynistic characters…and taking too long getting to the long-since foregone conclusion.

ugh - this almost went on my DNF shelf. Save yourself the time.
