Waverley (2012)
Creators: Liked "The story of Edward Waverley, a naïve, sensitive young man who is posted to Scotland with his regiment, and becomes caught between the clans of the Jacobite Rising and the forces of the Hanoverian regime."--Page 4 of cover.

LikedThere's a lot of humour in it, too, especially in like certain kinds of characters that are maybe slightly exaggerated. While reading this book and at the same time getting to know the author and being in the location, it's absolutely wonderful. I don't think this was the closest to my personal taste.
