“Catriona so reeks and hums with genius that there is no refuge for the desperate reader but in straightforward prostration.” —Henry James
“Frederick Davidson delivers the text of this nineteenth-century novel with a thoroughly convincing variety of Scottish brogues and English accents.” —AudioFile
