Lewis Grassic Gibbon
Lewis Grassic Gibbon (James Leslie Mitchell) was one of the finest writers of the twentieth century. Born in Aberdeenshire in 1901, he died at the age of thirty-four. He was a prolific writer of novels, short stories, essays and science fiction, and his writing reflected his wide interest in religion, archaeology, history, politics and science. The Mearns trilogy, A Scots Quair, is his most renowned work, and has become a landmark in Scottish literature.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It's hard to describe this book briefly. It continues the lives of some of the people introduced in the first two books of A Scot's Quair - Sunset Song and Cloud Howe. However, they don't seem as sympathetic as in the first two books. This is Ewan Tavendale, Jr.'s coming out and he seems particularly unsympathetic, although I'm not sure Mr. Gibbon intended him to be seen that way. It's definitely something to be read if you've read Sunset Song and Cloud Howe.
