Members Reviews:

wonderful

the narrator is exquisite, the story magnificent, and the performance is irresistible.. I can't recommend this highly enough

Beautiful language

Gibbon's poetic language spoken in McCallum's appropriately thick accent combine to require closer attention, but oh, so worth it! Gibbon tells an honestly realistic tale in words that make it beautiful.

Beautifully told.

What a treat to hear this. Perhaps my first north east story. I look forward to seeing the show now. Thank you.

Good book for learning about the land and its authors

I am going to Scotland and wanted to get in the spirit. This was a good one to give me a sense of the people, land and history. The narrator made the story come alive, with her authentic accent being both a pro and con. I enjoyed her accent and the colloquialisms of the Scottish but at the same time found it difficult to understand, especially when she was speaking quickly. I may have to get the written book to study and decipher some of the language. Would recommend!

A very fine book and surely a Scottish classic

Beautifully and evocatively read and very moving. Such a lyrical description of place and a culture no more.
