The most acclaimed Scottish novel of all time, Sunset Song is a powerful portrait of a land and people in turmoil, seen through the life and struggles of its heroine, Chris Guthrie.

A masterpiece

This under-recognized classic is an extraordinary coming-of-age story in a significant historical period for Scotland. It is gorgeously written, heartfelt, funny and devastating, with an unforgettable heroine. The narrator is superb, making the Scottish language accessible and the text come to life. I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

Audible, can you bring Eileen McCallum back to record the other two books?

Beautiful but sad

Great narrator and a beautiful, heartbreaking and heartwarming story. Scottish accent may take a bit of getting used to.

A fantastic insight to a time gone by

This was a fantastic insight to a time gone by. I really enjoyed the narrator, she really made the story come to life.

Beautifully told.

What a treat to hear this. Perhaps my first north east story. I look forward to seeing the show now. Thank you.

Brilliant

Absorbing story about the last days of an ancient culture just prior to World War I.
