Synopsis

Sunset Song is the first and most celebrated of Grassic Gibbon’s great trilogy, A Scot's Quair. It provides a powerful description of the first two decades of the century through the evocation of change and the lyrical intensity of its prose. It is hard to find any other Scottish novel of the last century which has received wider acclaim and better epitomises the feelings of a nation. The book has 264 pages and three pages are left blank after that.

About this title

Review:

"This book may be read with delight the world over." (New York Times)

"It is gritty and passionate and one of Scotland's great 20th-century novels" (Jim Naughtie Daily Express)

"Beautifully written novel about a rural Scottish community facing the acute changes wrought by the First World War. While describing a way of life in decline, it also presents a vision of hope for the future via its strong female lead character." (Independant on Sunday)
