内容简介 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.
作者简介 Lewis Grassic Gibbon (1901–1935) is the pen name of James Leslie Mitchell, one of the outstanding figures in Scottish literature.
Ali Smith is the author of Hotel World, which was short-listed for both the Orange Prize and the Booker Prize, and The Accidental, winner of the 2005 Whitbread Novel of the Year.
William K. Malcolm is a director of the Grassic Gibbon Centre.
