Gibbon's Elvanlee novel praised for fidelity to period portrayal
A review lauds Mr. Gibbon's novel for its faithful depiction of the 18th century conflict and Jacobite tensions. Characters such as Lady Margaret, Agnes, Earl Strathroy, and Le Baslivery engage in motive-driven drama, disguises, and scenes at camp that illuminate the era's spirit while avoiding mere sensationalism.
