The
classic
novel
of
love
and
loyalty
amid
a
vanishing
way
of
life
in
the
Scottish
Highlands
from
the
Victorian-era
author
of
Robert
Falconer.This
Scottish
masterpiece
of
1886
contains
wonderfully
descriptive
passages
of
the
Scottish
Highlands.
The
story
centers
around
two
families—the
English
Palmers
and
that
of
clan
chief
Alister
Macruadh—and
Mr.
Palmer’s
cruel
removal
of
Clan
Ruadh
from
its
traditional
lands.
This
portrait
of
the
Highland
Clearances
poignantly
captures
how
and
why
the
clan
way
of
life
disappeared
from
the
highlands
in
the
18th
and
19th
centuries.
One
of
MacDonald’s
signature
tunes,
God’s
revelation
in
nature,
is
woven
throughout
the
narrative.Along
with
Robert
Falconer,
What’s
Mine’s
Mine
also
offers
insight
into
MacDonald’s
controversial
views
on
the
afterlife.
The
pointed
discussions
between
Calvinist
Mrs.
Macruadh
and
her
sons
Alister
and
Ian
are
memorable
indeed.
In
spite
of
its
highland
flavor,
this
intensely
Scottish
tale
did
not
employ
the
local
dialect,
which
at
the
time
was
primarily Gaelic.
