The Dark Mile (The Jacobite Trilogy Book 3) Kindle Edition

by D. K. Broster (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

Set during the 1745 Jacobite era, this is the third and final instalment of D. K. Broster’s trilogy. First published in 1929, The Dark Mile is the sequel to The Flight of the Heron (1925) and The Gleam in the North (1927), completing the picture of a close-knit community embroiled in a civil war.

At the centre of the story are the intersecting fortunes of two men, who at first glance seem almost complete opposites: Ewen Cameron, a young Highland laird in the service of the Prince, is dashing, sincere, and idealistic, while Major Keith Windham, a professional soldier in the opposing English army, is cynical, world-weary, and profoundly lonely. When a second-sighted Highlander tells Ewen that the flight of a heron will lead to five meetings with an Englishman who is fated both to do him a great service and to cause him great grief, Ewen refuses to believe it.

But as Bonnie Prince Charlie’s ill-fated campaign winds to its bitter end, the prophecy is proven true—and through many dangers and trials, Ewen and Keith find that they have one thing indisputably in common: both of them are willing to sacrifice everything for honour’s sake…

Adapted for BBC Radio in 1961, this is an unmissable read to complete your collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Historically rich
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018
Verified Purchase
By now, I have read the whole trilogy. The only problem for me was reading the language of the older folk. The stories are historically rich with a slight touch of romance. There was suspense, drama, betrayal, and loss of life. If you enjoy historical fiction, you will certainly want to read this series. They could be stand alone books, but why would you miss the pleasure? I highly recommend the series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sorry to have finished reading the Jacobite trilogy

Like the two previous books this made riveting reading. I got so involved with the story of Ewen Cameron and his friends that I did not want the story to end. Most enjoyable.

D.K. Broster's Highland Trilogy was first read by me in my late teens, many years ago, and I still love it!!! Great books.

3.0 out of 5 stars A letdown
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2017
Verified Purchase
This last book in DK Broster's trilogy has been a disappointment. The first, Flight of the Heron, I enjoyed thoroughly, and the following novel, Gleam in the North, also a cracking good tale. This one (& admittedly I am less than half way through reading it) is not much above the everyday standard of a pulp romance one can find by the score on any airport book stand. I have stuck with it, as only keen now to discover the name of the traitor in the clan. Very unfortunately, this final book will not be kept on the shelf with the first 2 volumes, but given away to a worthy charity outlet.

I found it impossible to read? Trying to spell a broad Scottish accent in English doesn’t work, had to give up
