Recensione:

"[George Mackay Brown] really does possess the magician's touch ... [He has] the talent to lighten up the most humdrum detail of ordinary life." (Observer)

"[His] prose is severely simple and beautiful; he never wastes words, but evokes a complete atmosphere in a phrase." (Scottish Field)
