About the Author:
George Mackay Brown is one of the major Scottish literary figures of the twentieth century. A prolific poet and novelist, he took much of his inspiration from the myths and landscape of Orkney, and also from his deep Catholic faith. His collection of short stories A Time to Keep (1971) won the Katherine Mansfield Mentor short story prize and his novel Beside the Ocean of Time was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1994. He died in 1996.
Review:
"Incantatory but down-to-earth, profound and often funny" -- The Sunday Telegraph
"What illuminates and pleases, apart from the speech of his characters and the poetic imagery, is the insight into people" -- Iain Crichton Smith, The Scotsman
