"'The Three Perils of Women' is two different stories, neither of which has anything reliable to communicate about the dangers to which female weakness is exposed...Gatty and Cherry are cousins entangled with a Highlander...Around the two revolve the energies of two lairds from the southern hinterland: Gatty's father Daniel, who seldom talks of anything but sheep, and a confrontational...Northumberland farmer. Both portraits are vivid and funny...The introduction traces useful connections between this novel and other novels of the period--female fictions and historical and 'national ones'."Hasler, Antony J. is the author of 'Three Perils of Woman Or Love, Leasing, and Jealousy' with ISBN 9780748663170 and ISBN 0748663177.
