Anna Issac's choices are bleak. Suicide is more appealing than marrying the revolting Frenchman her spiteful brother has chosen for her. The only other option is to beg a man she barely knows, a Highlander, to help her run away. Escape would be a challenge for any 15-year-old, but it is particularly difficult for a Jewess living in 17th century Scotland. Anna's tale would have remained a secret, except three centuries later the death of Hanna Duncan's father on 9/11 unleashes a chain of events that leads her to an ancient key with a peculiar etching. Once deciphered, the clue points Hanna toward a safe deposit box in Edinburgh where Hanna uncovers Anna's role in the creation of Scotland's only colony. Caledonia promised to be the trading hub of the New World, but starvation, ship's fever, and incompetent leadership dogged the 1,200 colonists from the moment they left Scotland. More than half would be buried at sea or in the colony's muddy cemetery, and Anna would not be immune from the dreadful conditions. The outpost was deserted in less than a year.
Caledonia is a tale of these two strong women separated by time but bound by mysterious circumstances. Twenty-first century Hanna keeps uncovering evidence linking her to 17th century Anna. Both women experience romance, adventure, and tragedy as the listener witnesses them becoming more and more connected.

1. The main character only stays in her 'accent party of the time.
2. Anna's father has no accent and it feels like there's no attempt to give him masculine voice.
3. Anna's says IAN and her father pounces it as EAN. As father and son, they should have the same speech.
I feel like I'm stuck in an Ireland, Scotland & English swirl of language. The story takes place (at l r art at this point) in Scotland in the 1600s.
I'll update once I decide whether or not I'm going to persevere and finish the book.
The narration is killing the story.

Good narrator. The Scottish brogue was beautiful, and understandable. Not too heavy.
Never knew about Caledonia. Interesting

The narration is understanding too. The accent makes the book appear more authentic. It is easy to understand tis narrator.
I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

The narrator was stupendous. She had the Scottish accent perfectly. She kept my interest from the first to the last. I wish I could give this book ten stars.

Okay, maybe a bit more than distracting. I just had to stop when Hannah pulled out her bent sunglasses but that was ok because it's rarely sunny in Scotland. Come on!!! Also, not sure why it took them 7 hours to drive to Skye. Even without taking highways, it's not 7 hours. We're the roads really bad in 2005? I finally stopped it with about 6 HOURS to go when the claim was made that most modern Scots don't want independence and it was kinda written as a right wing fringe thing full of super religious people. Granted, this is supposed to be 2005, but the 2014 referendum was really close! If inaccuracy in details, and recording quality don't bother you, it's an okay story. I get that it is so hard to write a book. But at the very least, get the weather right.
Decent story, mediocre narration, minor annoyances
