Review by Karen B, Reviewer Last updated on 9 May 2023 Despite the horror of its subject of the Highland Clearances in the 19th century, when crofters were evicted from their smallholdings to make way for sheep, this is a beautifully lyrical story from master story-teller Sally Magnusson. It begins with Jamesina Bain, a widow in Rutherglen, and still battling with the physical and mental scars of her community's violent eviction, first from Glencalvie, then Greenyards.
