My Review (4 stars out of 5)
In her second short story collection, Lindsay Adam serves up something for everyone. From a true story of smuggling in 1770s Aberdeenshire (Tides of Deception), to Witch, Witch, where a young girl is forced to leave her home when the community accuse her of witchcraft, there’s a huge variety to choose from. My own favourites are Eaglefeather, a tale of revenge following an attack on a homestead by Native Americans, and Ship of Dreams, in which Johnny is left a bequest in a will allowing him to leave home and start a new life travelling on the biggest ship ever built—until the ship meets with an unexepected obstacle.
An intriguing and thoughtful series of stories.
