I enjoyed this book for the most part. Devine's writing style is clear and he's done tons of research. Sometimes we have different focuses of interests so he shies away from the topics that interest me the most (he really only talks about women's contributions when discussing missionaries, which is missing a whole breadth of Scottish women's contributions and seems a glaring error to me.) Otherwise, very informative and enjoyable!

"I'm still learning a lot. I do have some academic nit-picks, but overall it's been super fun."
