already it's being spoken of as the most important novel about Scotland since Lanark * Scotland on Sunday * eminently readable * Independent on Sunday * Both epic and domestic, it delivers a wonderful lifelikeness * Scotsman * A hugely ambitious and compassionate novel. And The Land Lay Still reads like an alternative history of Scotland told by its everyday people instead of its movers and shakers.
it's some achievement * New Statesman * Dizzying. A brilliant and multifaceted saga of Scottish life in the second half of the twentieth century * Sunday Times * Toweringly ambitious, virtually flawlessly realized, a masterpiece and, without a doubt, my book of the year * Daily Mail * Big, ambitious, intricately organised. A joy to read - Irvine Welsh * Guardian * Gripping, vivid, beautifully realized * The Times * Powerful and moving.
Wonderful, brilliant, panoramic, illuminating.
