Catriona

About this book

Robert Louis Stevenson’s Catriona continues David Balfour’s journey with a vivid blend of adventure, romance and courtroom drama. Now navigating love, loyalty and the tangled politics of post-Jacobite Scotland, David finds himself caught between honor and temptation as the spirited and enigmatic Catriona challenges his convictions. Full of brisk sea voyages, duels of wit, moral dilemmas and cinematic Highland scenery, Stevenson deepens his portrait of a young man coming of age while offering a richly textured tale of friendship, betrayal and the uneasy laws of a changing world. Stevenson's brisk, evocative prose and keen ear for character make Catriona a satisfying follow-up that rewards readers who crave heart-stirring adventure with thoughtful moral complexity.
