Completely agree. I reread the book every few years.

I'd suggest the Jacobite Trilogy by D. K. Broster as well as the Tranter books.

Nothing beats Kidnapped in my book. Loved it since I was a wee bairn.

And on a completely different note another lifelong favorite is Seal Morning by Rowena Farre. That made a deep impression on me from my early teen years.
