The Family at Farrshore Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 35 ratings

Cathryn is delighted to join an archaeological dig at Farrshore, in the Scottish Highlands. Apart from her professional interest in the Vikings, it means she’ll be at a distance from her recently ex-boyfriend, Daniel. Canadian Magnus Macaskill, is in Farrshore for his own reasons, one of which is to trace his ancestry. As they spend the summer lodging with Dolly MacLeod and her husband JD, Cathryn and Magnus are drawn into the extended family and to each other. But how will Cathryn react when Daniel reappears?

    I so enjoyed these characters and their highlands; I had to force myself to put it down so that it would last longer.

    I'd already read and enjoyed another of this author's novellas - 'The Ferryboat' and very much enjoyed that so I was expecting good things from this book too. I wasn't disappointed. The author tells another gentle but entertaining story full of characters the reader can relate to and care about. I was quickly drawn in and definitely wanted to know how it was all going to play out.

    So disappointed with this. It came up in a search genealogy fiction and seeing it also involved a archeological dig about vikings I thought it would be just right. Unfortunately it featured VERY little of either topic and just turned out to be quite a bland love story.
