Sunset Song Paperback - 2007
by Lewis Grassic Gibbon; Introduction by Ali Smith; Notes by William Malcolm
Scotland's favorite modern novel
Sunset Song is the first volume in Gibbon's revered trilogy, A Scot's Quair. In it, he chronicles the life of young Chris Guthrie. Living in the harsh landscape of northern Scotland, she is torn between her passion for the land, duty to her family, and love of books. When her mother kills herself and her two youngest children, Chris and her father are left to run the farm on their own. But everything changes once more as the First World War begins. Infused with local vernacular, Sunset Song is a poignant and intense portrait of Scottish life in the early twentieth century.
