Review:
'A riveting story of harsh injustices and prejudices that turns into a strange parable... a climax that has almost visionary quality. Mr McLean is a very powerful writer indeed.' -- The Guardian 'This haunting novel focuses on the clearance township of Uig on Skye in 1877. Calum's vivid flash-back narrative incorporates biblical and folktale elements. Its ambiguities will promote differing interpretations among young readers.' -- Treasure Island: A guide to Scottish fiction for young readers aged 10-14, Summer 2003
About the Author:
Allan Campbell McLean was born in 1922. After World War Two he wrote about his experiences of war in his pacifist novel The Glass House, and then turned his attention wholly to writing. He is the author of the children's books The Master of Morgana, The Hill of the Red Fox, Storm over Skye and A Sound of Trumpets, also published in Kelpies.
