Reviews
The award-winning Scots poet and novelist has fashioned a picaresque parable, ranging in time and space from the China of Genghis Khan to the Orkney Islands today. The heroine, an Eastern princess, is fated to wander eastward throughout Europe following armies and war until she reaches the sea. Mackay Brown's narrative mixes the somewhat fey phrases of ritual and myth with naturalism and actual history to dramatize the horrors of war and man's increasing proficiency at it. But, despite his obvious gift for language and characterization, he succeeds neither in making an effective statement, nor in rousing our interest; even the long-awaited ending is flat and anticlimactic. An interesting, flawed effort. Shelley Cox, Southern Illinois Univ. Lib., Carbondale

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Edges rather spotted, free endpapers mildly embrowned, dustwrapper aded at spine. Dedicated to Margaret Marshall, Neil Scott-Moncrieff, Magnus Brunner and Sigrid Weber. "In his third novel, the first for eleven years, George Mackay Brown offers us a parable of war. A young woman wanders through history with the two gifts bequeathed to her at the time of her birth, an ivory flute and a bag of gold and silver coins, with which she succours those who have been crippled or afflicted by war . . . This is an impressive and moving novel, broad in its sweep through time and space, and eloquent in its presentation of both the ever-threatening horror of war and the healing power of the imagination" (dustwrapper blurb).
