The Dark Mile is a weird book. I read it as a very uncritical teenager so I was perfectly happy with 'oh she was ADOPTED so now it's all okay' as the resolution of the love story, but I was much more interested in the Maitland-Hector-MacPhair business with all the messy questions of betrayal and loyalty, not to mention the hurt/comfort which as ever Broster knows how to do perfectly.
