Subject: Anyone a fan of Margaret Elphinstone?

I've recently discovered this Scottish writer and I can't believe she's not better known.

So far I've read:
- The Sea Road. Set in the Viking era. The story is about the first European woman to set foot in the Americas.
- Voyageurs. Set in early 19th century Canada. A young Quaker man goes in search of his sister, who has been kidnapped by Indians.
- The Gathering Night. Set in prehistoric Scotland. A woman becomes a "Go-Between" (shaman) when her son goes missing.

She has a real knack of bringing characters and historical setting to life. For example, when I read The Sea Road, her description made me shiver from the cold. Highly recommended.
