[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I have really enjoyed reading about this house and it’s history. A delightful insight into both the problems incurred by the upkeep, and the heartbreak which the families found themselves involved in. Very well written.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars What an absolute joy it was to read this book about an amazing figure of early feminism, written by a man! Finally, not only female authors find it important to learn and tell the world more about influential women in history. Here comes a man, Sydney Thorne, introducing rarely-discussed Mary Ward to us, and paying her due respect. This is an informative read, and since the tone of voice is not too formal, very entertaining and easy-going too. You'll be shocked to learn how many things have not changed a bit in women's life, rights or status since the 17th century, and how much Mary Ward did to empower other women, facilitate girls' education and take a step towards gender equality.

Grainger’s narrative is engaging and rattles along; his description of the Battle of Dunbar is particularly good. His analysis of the fractured Scottish political scene is also insightful, though he rarely lingers on any similar problems in England with just a few forays into why some in England would not fight the Scots who had backed them in the English Civil War. Grainger’s text is well-supported by maps and monochrome photographs of interesting artefacts and place, and portraits of the main players.
