” The Quarry Wood”, although published well before ” Sunset Song”, inhabits a similar world; the progress of its heroine could almost be the alternative story of a Chris Guthrie who did go to university. Compassionate & humorous, the grace & style of Shepherd`s prose is heightened by a superb ear for the vigorous language of the north-east. ” The Weatherhouse”, Shepherd`s masterpiece, is an even more substantial achievement which belongs to the great line of Scottish fiction dealing with the complex interactions of small communities, & especially the community of women
- a touching & hilarious network of mothers, daughters, spinsters & widows. It is also a striking meditation on the nature of truth, the power of human longing & the mystery of being. The third & final novel, ”A Pass in the Grampians”, describes Jenny Kilgour`s coming of age as she has to choose between the kindly harshness of her grandfather`s life on a remote hill farm, & the vulgar & glorious energy of Bella Cassie, a local girl who left the community to pursue success as a singer, & has now returned to scandalise them all. ” The Living Mountain” is a lyrical testament in praise of the Cairngorms. It is a work deeply rooted in Shepherd`s knowledge of the natural world, & a poetic & philosophical meditation on our longing for high & holy places. This is the first omnibus edition of Shepherd`s prose works
- her sensitivity & powers of observation raise her work far above the status of regional literature & into the front rank of Scottish writing.
