Welcome back to the read-along! This week's chapters are getting a bit more serious, historically and for our characters...

Next week we'll read the first two chapters of Part II.

Ooh, thank you for explaining about the names! And the vocative! I recced FotH to a Gaelic-speaking friend and they told me how impressed they were with the way Broster uses Gaelic and has her native Gaelic speakers using Gaelic grammar instead of English even when they're speaking English.
