A good story, easy to relate to the main character, a quick-read ( )

Jane lives in a shack in California with her rather erratic father. She accepts an invitation to Scotland to be reunited with her grandmother and other family members. Excellent characters, as is usual with this author, but the plot is a bit over-dramatic and ends rather suddenly (albeit satisfactorily).

Re-reading seven years later, I liked it rather more. Yes, the climax is sudden - and was the only part of the plot I actually remembered, other than the first couple of chapters. But I found the story ended satisfactorily, and enjoyed re-visiting the people in it. Enjoyed afresh re-reading yet again nine years later.
