Widely considered to be the most acclaimed Scottish novel of the 20th century, 'Sunset Song' is a powerful portrait of a land and people in turmoil, seen through the life and struggles of one heroine. The daughter of a Scottish farmer, Chris Guthrie comes of age in a rural community, torn between her love of the land and the brutal harshness of farming life. But as the first world war and the social and economic upheaval that follow thrust the community into a new age, and the days of the small crofter are over, Chris continues to endure the devastating impact on her life. Symbolising a resilience which, like the land itself, endures despite everything, Chris Guthrie's struggle is portrayed with a lyrical intensity that echoes through the years.
