This might amuse salon: I read a few sample chapters of Like the Down of a Thistle by Sarah Swan, which is a historical f/f romance set in the Scottish Highlands, with two ordinary clanswomen as protagonists. It went like this:
Protagonist: My family has a Clydesdale horse and I am wearing a muslin chemise!
Luz: Okay, I think you must be in the 19th century.
Protagonist: My neighbor’s husband is going off to raid and fight a battle against another clan!
Luz: Whoa. You're in the 17th century at the latest.
Protagonist: This summer we are going to try the strange new crop called potatoes!
Luz: Right, you just positioned yourself in the mid-18th century.
Sigh, probably not the Jacobite f/f romance I was looking for...
