The most beautiful book i have ever read. - By: Marie A. Smith, 21 Jan 2002
It is impossible not to be carried to 'Kinraddie', in the beautiful descriptive language that Gibbon uses to capture the beauty of what could be many areas in Scotland. This book has everything, the joy & sorrow of the 3 ages of chris guthrie..from child to young lover & mother, to widowed mother of a young man in a revolutionary new scotland, the terrible loss of the great war, the pain of childbirth & the tale of the land which chris loves. Of alll the times i have read this book, i have never managed to do so without drowning the pages in tears. Simply the most wonderful book i have ever read.
Majestic, magnificent, mighty sweep through Scotland 20th C - By: malcolmelder@compuserve.com, 09 Oct 2000
A trilogy focussing on the life of Chris Geddes from the mearns of Kincardine in the 1st world war to trade unionism in Dundee. Gibbon tells a story that is alive with an affirmation of life. Joy & heartbreak with a background of social history. A real woman - feminist before feminism.
