Subject: re-reading ABSOAA, I'm where Richard Brown and the Fisher-folk march Jamie and Claire off to 'trial' for Malva's murder. The only person who acted to save them was Tom Christie. I find this one of the most disturbing events in all the books. The Presbyters had been given land, food, taught new skills, ministered to by Roger and Claire, but they turned against a man they knew from their personal experience to be honorable. I find it chilling. This has happened throughout history at time of war and still is happening today Bosnia, Sunni-Shia. It breaks my heart, or maybe it hardens my heart. The scenes are very tough to read.

[> I agree they were ungrateful wretches but also think they were afraid for their lives. The Browns had proven to be pretty evil and vindictive. These people, aside from being unsure of Papists, were fearful for their lives, families and livelihood. JMHO -- CathyS, 18:01:06 03/14/12 Wed
