Journal Entry 1 by xenarachne from Bradford, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Friday, September 5, 2008
Blurb from the back:
Greenvoe, the community on the Orkney Island of Hellya, has existed unchanged for generations. In this, his first novel, George Mackay Brown has recreated a week in its life, mixing history with personality - form minister to marxist- in a brilliant sparkling mixture of prose and poetry.
Having visited and holidayed in Orkney about four years ago, I enjoyed this read and the memories of place it evoked.
