Historical accounts w/personal anecdotes & humor
Reviewed: 01-14-21
I listened while recovering from COVID-19. it gave me something special to look forward to each morning as I pushed myself from bed to battle another day. Hearing Sam's and Graham's recollection of the various clan battles and warfare helped me realize that we all have various battles to fight and digging into my stubborn Scottish genes was just what I needed. Their perfect mixture of historical accounts blended with their own personal anecdotes added the perfect amount of interest and humor. Their witty banter made me think of my husband his family as they tell stories and jest with one another. I recently discovered Outlander in September 2020 and have been swiftly reading the books (nearing the end of 5) to get caught up. I have enjoyed listening to Clanlands as an audiobook in conjunction (not simultaneously, though) with reading book 5. I am excitedly looking forward to the TV show Men in Kilts in February.
