Review Quotes:
"The author painstakingly tallies the cases and identifies key patterns in Scottish sexual violence contained in the case details ... Most interestingly, the volume brings to the fore some lived experiences and voices of the anonymous victims of sexualassault included the record set." --Scotia: Interdisciplinary Journal of Scottish Studies
"[T]his is an important book. One can only marvel at the stoicism it must have taken on the part of the author to write about these cases; it is not easy to read either. And yet, I cannot recall when I last read a work of academic history that made me want to reach into the text and hold the hand of a protagonist. I did on this occasion." --English Historical Review
