About this item

Since its first publication in 1932, Sunset Song has been regarded as one of the most important novels ever written in Scotland and it has retained its power to shock and to inspire ever since. Its heroine, Chris Guthrie, endures much hardship and tragedy, yet her desire to learn, her powerful spirit, and her passionate love of the land have made her a beloved favourite with generations of readers. Together with Cloud Howe (1933) and Grey Granite (1934) her story forms A Scot Quair, which is also published by Polygon.
