Catherine Gaskin's "A Falcon for a Queen"

[fallover]

This is a story of a young girl, raised in China, who arrives at her grandfather's farm in Scotland after her father dies. She comes to learn the details of her brother's death, which occurred unexpectedly while he was visiting his grandfather. She is barely welcomed, but learns to become a part of the land and its people.

I don't want to ruin the plot for readers, but this is a story of forbidden love(s). I found it particularly poignant. It could have done without the epilogue. Not that it was bad, but because there was so much nostalgia in it that I wish I did not know of.
