Sunset Song
Autor Lewis Grassic Gibbon Introducere de Ali Smithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 aug 2007
Young Chris Guthrie lives a brutal life in the harsh landscape of northern Scotland, torn between her passion for the land, duty to her family and her love of books. When her mother, broken by repeated childbirths, takes her own life and poisons her two youngest children, Chris is left with her father to run the farm on her own. Soon she is alone, and for the first time can choose how to spend her life. But as the First World War begins, everything changes, and the young men leave Scotland for battle. The first in Gibbon's classic trilogyA Scot's Quair,Sunset Songis infused with local vernacular, and innovatively blends Scots and English in an intense description of Scottish life in the early twentieth century.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Faced with a choice between a harsh farming life and the world of books and learning, Chris Guthrie chooses to remain in her rural community, bound by her intense love of the land. But everything changes with the arrival of the First World War and Chris finds her land altered beyond recognition.
In lyrical prose, Sunset Song evokes village life in the early twentieth century, and offers a powerful portrait of a land and people in turmoil.
