From Publishers Weekly
Set in the mid-19th-century Scottish Hebrides, Williams's ( Home Mountain ) touching romance chronicles a spirited people living during a harsh time. When young Mairi's grandfather dies, her family is driven off the land on which their ancestors dwelled for centuries. Some take the opportunity to find a new life in America, but Mairi stubbornly refuses to leave. With the help of handsome and kind Captain Iain MacDonald, the remaining family members form a new community that must eke out an existence on the barren rocks by the sea. Through difficult circumstances, including potato blight, near-starvation and rough storms, Mairi keeps the new community together, preserving her people's heritage through the magical tales she unfolds with the help of her harp, Cridhe. Her achievements win her many suitors, but Mairi anxiously awaits Iain's rare visits, though their disparate social standings--he is a gentleman--means they can never marry. When she has his child, the community stands by her, and soon a change in circumstance improves her lot. Packed full of Scottish lore, Williams' narrative is sometimes sloppy and often overwrought, but ultimately moving.

YA-- A poignant novel set in the Scottish moors of the 19th century. With great courage, Mairi MacLeod preserves the traditions and livelihood of her clan through one harrowing experience after another: arson, corrupt gentry, crop failure, and illness. The beliefs, hopes, and traditions of her people are instilled in the young woman's soul. This is shown in concrete form by Cirdhe, the harp left to Mairi by her beloved grandfather, one of the few not destroyed by the landlords. Mairi's troubles persist when she falls in love with a wealthy landowner with whom she realizes she can have no future due to the rigid lines separating the social classes. Williams vividly depicts the turmoil between classes. YAs will enjoy the variety of characters; the descriptions of the region and the time; and will identify with the strong, admirable heroine.- Elizabeth O'Brochta, W. T.
