In Edinburgh in 1751, young David Balfour has just come into his inheritance. He wants to testify to save an innocent man accused of a political murder, but the men in power have already chosen their culprit, and they mean to stop David from speaking. At the same time, he meets Catriona Drummond, a strong-willed young woman from the Highlands.
Plots, danger and a love story mix in the troubled Scotland of the eighteenth century, where David meets up again with Alan Breck, his rebellious, swaggering friend.
Told by David himself, with plenty of dialogue, it is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.
