Excerpt
He'd been a married man when he'd gone south to barter sheep and barley for provisions enough to last the keep through the hard winter. Joking, hed told one of his men, "A had to get oot. She's been nippin ma heid a' week." And on his return, he'd found himself to be a widower. Dead from a miscarriage—she'd had no hold on his heart, though he'd wanted to love her, a remote, non-descript woman, a marriage arranged by his father. but it made a man think, even a man like him, a man as unlikely to find his way to heaven as the deil himself.

Good storytelling
The writing here is so sensory and palpable that it will be hard to believe that you're not in the characters' environment with them; almost as if you unknowingly got into a time machine, and now reside in the time the characters inhabit, literally following them along on their travels. My only real qualm is the limited amount of time his second wife had to live, but I guess that's why its called Wee Light, and is a prequel. I simply just loved her character so much. Her and Graham seemed very much like a once in a lifetime relationship, and I'd love to see more of their interactions because of this story. Very sweet and passionate romance, great description, and a great capability in writing from this author.
Great
This book made me want to read the whole story. It was beautifully written, with colorful phrasing, and full of action.
enjoyed it
This is a very quick read that I enjoyed but wish it was longer a longer story to fill in the blanks left. Will be reading more of this author's longer work.
