SUNSET SONG

by Lewis Grassic Gibbon ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 14, 1933

A lucky break in the press and the right start, and this might prove a ""dark horse"" in somewhat the same way as did HATTER'S CASTLE. The chief hurdle is going to be the use of dialect, but in spite of that very considerable barrier, the story has an illusive hold on the reader, which carries one through to the last page. There is an epic quality in the theme, the passing of the Scotch peasant, and there is humor and sympathy and understanding in the telling. The English press halls this as the most important book that has come out of modern Scotland.
