A Scots Quair: The Mearns Trilogy

Lewis Grassic Gibbon

One of the all-time greats of Scottish literature and truly revolutionary, A Scots Quair is a trilogy of novels: Sunset Song (1932), Cloud Howe (1933) and Grey Granite (1934). At each book’s core is the heroine Chris Guthrie, as she grows from a child into adulthood through the Great War to the development of communism in the 1920s. Grassic Gibbon’s writing is unique and riveting, blending Scots and English in an accessible style, and eloquent in its humanity and celebration of nature.
