The most acclaimed Scottish novel of all time, Sunset Song is a powerful portrait of a land and people in turmoil, seen through the life and struggles of its heroine, Chris Guthrie.

In the years up to and beyond the First World War, Chris' resilience, like the land itself, endures despite everything and is portrayed with a lyrical intensity that echoes through the years and still resonates today.

This under-recognized classic is an extraordinary coming-of-age story in a significant historical period for Scotland. It is gorgeously written, heartfelt, funny and devastating, with an unforgettable heroine. The narrator is superb, making the Scottish language accessible and the text come to life. I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

Audible, can you bring Eileen McCallum back to record the other two books?
