Over the Hills by Mary Findlater review
The critic praises Over the Hills for its faithful Scottish Lowland setting and well drawn characters led by Dinah Jerningham and Annie Fraser. Annie is a vivid selfish figure while Dinah embodies common sense and honor. Jane Anne, the motherly poor relation, stands out as a favorite. The narration stays steady though occasionally strands threads near the end, with humorous touches and strong descriptions throughout.
