Very frustrating and quite a disappointment, considering the glowing reviews this book has recieved. Fuller is clearly fascinated by her self-absorbed, scatterbrained drama queen of a mother and by the lurid and bloody legends of her highland Scots ancestors. The author never sticks to one thread of her story long enough to capture a reader's interest and makes things worse by trying to be oh so clever; one can imagine her saying to herself "this will give them a shock" as she throws in another violent little tidbit. I found it impossible to finish the book, had to give up after about 150 pages.
