Hawkfall - George Mackay Brown

Description:

“Hawkfall”, the central story, traces the vicissitudes, violence and hypocrisies which recur over many generations. In “The Drowned Rose”, the ghosts of lovers, still in love with the things of this world, mix with the living, while “Sealskin” explores the relationship between legend, art and life. All stories are richly entertaining, poignant and moving, their universal themes realised in the context of their unique island setting.
