I started reading the play of the same title. One can see ahead and understand who the narrator and the Egyptian woman are before the novel explains it, but the discovery of it is very enjoyable, as are the Scottish town of Thrums and its townspeople. I then interrupted the play and switched to the novel. But when I looked for it in goodreads, I only found the novel, which had been written first, and of which the play is an adaptation.

The story-within-the-story of the narrator and his love is surprising and sadly sweet. The main character has a great personality.

The characters are fun to get to know, and by the end, I felt like I was another villager from Thrums who knew everybody and everybody's business. The ending is suspenseful and action-packed, and even though the beginning is slower, it's worth it.
