Living with the Laird Bewertungen

'A new country house classic.' Country Life

'A gem of a memoir.' Observer

'I read Living With the Laird with admiration and sympathy...This is not only a personal story, but a perceptive analysis of the social mores of Scotland and a way of country life that seems to have continued over the centuries.' Rosamunde Pilcher

'It is difficult to remain unseduced by this winsome account of a misalliance between a New England woman of literary taste and architectural sophistication and a frugal Scottish laird in his dilapidated ancestral home.' The Times

'The poignancy of her fractured love affair with both the man and the house shines through...Perhaps only an 'incomer' could have written such an intimate and acutely observed account of a disappearing social order which deserves a memoir like this as a lasting testimonial.' Spectator

'Fascinating...the book lifts and excels in [Rathbone's] description of her husband. In writing about John with affection, exasperation and sadness, Rathbone has managed to nail down a little bit of the Scottish soul in all its stark splendor.' New York Times
