Sunset Song?

Question

has anyone else read "Sunset Song" by Lewis Grassic Gibbon?

Answer 1

I've not read it but found this review quite interesting:

This book is the greatest of its time and endures as a seminal piece of literature. A song should be sung and this song should be read aloud, not intoned inside the dim recesses of the mind. Chris faces no issue which is not relevant today, from incest and spousal abuse, to the horrors and tragedies of war, to the chave and ecstasies of life. It is appealing to all ages, but must be approached with a mind open to diversity and multicultural exchange if the magic is to work. My children have all loved this book, even the non-readers amongst them. While the pages breathe with the life of North-East of Scotland, the characters are found the world over.
Feast upon the words and you will be filled.
