Story
On the rugged, sea-lashed coast of west Scotland lies Ullaness: home to the Scottish legend of Ulla, a Viking woman who washed up on Scottish shores centuries ago. The legend will bring the stories of three different women together. In AD 800 there is Ulla, lost in a foreign country after her lover is brutally killed. Ellen, a servant-girl in the 1800s, catches the unwanted attentions of the master of the house's lascivious son. And, in the present day, there is Libby - an archaeologist who is determined to uncover an age-old mystery.

Wonderfully descriptive of Hebridean coast.
You felt you were there, however the characters I found uninspiring. None captured my attention, none I cared much for - least so the protagonist, Libby. Much female dithering amongst male power. (Apart from one bad/strong/obvious and fleeting female character). Frankly, I wished to kick Libby, oft. Without the landscape detail, I would not have finished. Hate to be mean but glad when it ended. 🙈

Good story but confusing!
Too many people with the same and similar names made the story somewhat confusing. Mention at the end of a Jane Cameron but then no more explanation though you can guess who she was. Would have been nice to have the whole family tree explained in the end because again, I was confused as to who was who. Also the epilogue failed to play!
