Catriona
Picking up the moment Kidnapped left off, Robert Louis Stevenson sends David Balfour back into the political danger of 1750s Scotland, now determined to clear the name of a man wrongly charged with the Appin murder. His pursuit of justice runs headlong into powerful men who would rather the truth stayed buried, and his honesty nearly costs him his life. Along the way David meets Catriona Drummond, spirited daughter of a disgraced Jacobite, and the novel’s second half turns from courtroom intrigue to the awkward, tender business of falling in love. Stevenson balances Highland history, moral courage, and young romance with his usual clean, driving prose. Read on its own or as a sequel, it rewards either way. This free PDF and EPUB edition presents the complete novel.
