Compare "Beeswing" with Belle Stewart's "Queen Among the Heather" (same storyline rendered very differently). I think I'll stick with Scottishness.

I could stand to live in Eliza Carthy's England, but Lakeman's sounds like a place where everybody wore cashmere sweaters and the only reading material permitted would be the collected works of Mitch Albom and the Little Book of Hugs.
