Synopsis
This hilarious novel charts the rise and fall of Magnus Merriman - would-be lover, writer, politician, idealist and crofter - moved by dreams of greatness and a talent for farcical defeat. A satirical and irreverent portrait of Scottish life, literature and politics. Nothing is sacred and no-one is spared!

George Mackay Brown is considered to be one of the greatest Scottish poets and authors of the twentieth century. His technical mastery and control of both prose and verse attracted a world-wide readership. Although never reaching bestseller status, his books were published in more than a dozen countries around the world, drawing hundreds of avid fans to his house in Orkney each year.

Brown uses language with beautifulprecision, resource and power.' THE SUNDAY TIMES'[Mackay Brown] weaves the twentieth-century strand intothe Nordic tapestry more deftly than might have beenthought possible.' THE HERALD
