Finished the book
The language could be a challenge for some readers. The author uses the term 'right so' to mean yes, correct, and okay. When said as a question, 'Right so?' it means is that true. She puts the word 'so' in front of titles such as so missus and so doctor. I believe it is a sign of respect, a title in itself. Where the author uses 'Let's be true about it,' we would simply say 'Tell the truth.'. Mercies is the word the author uses in place of Lord. The word 'some' as in 'That 's some lovely' means very. Even if the language is challenging for younger readers, it adds an excellent element to the story.
I am going to put this book on the library's wish list. I so enjoyed it that I have ordered Duncan's companion novel to "Salvage."
