Review
'Marvellous; part elegy for a bitterly uneven marriage of man and nature, part excuse for unravelling his own roots' - Observer 'A master of elegant prose, and his book is a refreshing change from the usual diet of rural tales' - Sunday Tribune 'A brutally honest account of the author's family's attempt to come to grips with an unyielding earth' --The Scotsman
