Customer Reviews

Dunnottar

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this historical--it's a definate keeper. I look forward to re-reading it at a later date. The content as well as it's attractive cover makes it a nice addition to my library.

A GREAT story

Dunnottar was not only a great story, but it made a small bit of history come to life! I enjoyed it immensely.

In The Library

Here is an unusual new novel by Janet Elaine Smith. The beheading of a king, four love stories, the hiding of the precious crown jewels, a bouncy and charming little red-headed girl--all these should be enough of a mix for a historical novel, especially when it is based on the lore of a family we know. "Dunnottar" the title of this book, is actually the name of the ancient castle, the home of the Keith family, ancestors of Ivan Smith. He and Janet, his wife, and author of the novel, are regular attendants of our Federated Church. This is a first novel, to be followed soon by another one, "Marylebone." And so if you are ready for a romantic trip back to 17th century Scotland, here is your ticket.

Dunnottar

This book is a great read. It's loaded with action with a bit of romance running throughout the book. Once I got hooked, I couldn't lay it down. I would call it an historical novel, in that it is set in time of King Charles, with many references to other royalty and those of "noble" birth. I've read periodical articles that Janet Smith has written about the Keith Clan - those historically and genealogically accurate - however, this novel really brings the family alive!

Great Book...

What a great book. It is like history coming to life!
