Despite the challenges, Alan remains steadfast in his love for Lady Margaret and is determined to win her heart. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and social class, and provides a vivid portrayal of life in a small fishing village in Scotland during the 16th century.Then Christina thought of her lover again, and as they turned in to the fireside, she began to tell her brother her hopes and fears about Jamie, and to read him portions of a letter received that day from America. While Andrew's trouble had been fresh and heavy on him, Christina had refrained herself from all speech about her lover; she felt instinctively that it would not be welcome and perhaps hardly kind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
