What a wonderful conclusion to Here Burns My Candle. As soon as I finished Her Burns My Candle I just knew I had to read the sequel and boy it did not disappoint. I loved every minute of it. This second book follows the second half of the biblical book of Ruth set in historic Scotland. This book picked up right after the first one so I would highly recommend reading the first book before this one.

The book is long (464 pages) but an excellent read. Liz Curtis Higgs does a great job at setting the scene and making it feel like the reader is right there in the story. Her historical detail is beyond excellence. I am convinced she is not only a writer but a historian also, her passion for history of Scotland shines through this book as well as the firsts.

This is the perfect book for anyone who loves Scotland's history, being transported to another place and age, or just enjoy an excellent story!
