Reviews
Compelling, evocative, heart-wrenching. This beautifully written novel, populated by a vivid cast of characters, kept me gripped from start to finish. Highly recommended.Fiona Valpy, author of The Storyteller of Casablanca
In Aila, Philip Paris has created a character of such defiance and vulnerability that any reader will be bewitched by her story.Elizabeth Lee, author of Cunning Women
The story is told in a way that pulls the reader along and keeps you gripped - and sometimes appalled - as it builds towards its conclusion. This is a book we'd highly recommend to anyone with an interest in Scottish history.Undiscovered Scotland
