Yeah, I've read this. Confusion might be due to the fact that it's called 'A Northern Light' in America, and I think 'A Gathering Light' is a variarion used in Britain (and perhaps other places) due to some publishing hold-up...
Anyway, I thought it was a good book. There some nifty imagery, some nice characters. I can understand the irritation with Mattie - she's a bit of a know it all - but at the end of the day, it's a good read and well-written.
The interlinking of the Grace (forget her surname) and Chester Gillette saga could have been crafted better, but gave something additional that kept me interested.
No way as good as Jennifer's other books, The Tea Rose and Winter Rose (and upcoming The Wild Rose) which were stupendously brilliant, but still something to pick up and read on a slow day.
7/10 from me.
